Orange County National played host to our final major of the 2013 season August 17-18.  The Panther Lake and Crooked Cat courses, host to multiple PGA Tour Qualifying Schools, were a great challenge to our members all weekend.  With only two events left--August 31 at LPGA and September 14 at ChampionsGate--to qualify for the Tour/Senior Tour Championships at Hilton Head and Pinehurst players battled their way up the Points Standings list.


Chad Frank Shoots 68-72 at Orange County National
 

Championship Flight:   Chad Frank continued his domination of the Championship flight with rounds of 68-72 for a 4-under total 140 to outdistance runner-up John Bessette.  Bessette carded solid rounds of 70-74 for even par 144.  Cory Walker was third at 151.  Al Clerico won the second day money game we play at our 2-day events by posting a 77 to edge past Wayne Zeigler on a scorecard match.

Senior A FlightDonald Dunivant and Michel Dion also compete in senior A and finished 1,2,3, respectively.

B Flight:   Jim Kenney and Mike Salik needed a playoff in B flight to decide who got the crystal. They each completed 36 holes with identical scores of 78-80-158. It didn't last long as Mike prevailed on the first extra hole to claim his first victory of the season.  Rex Hyder was third with 161 and points leader Mike Ferretti recorded another top five finish with 164 to stay in first place for the season.  Micheal Coyle took second day money after an 84.
