Neal Fisel dominated the field by 6 strokes with an impressive 66 net score, no easy feat on the challenging Kokopelli course. First place and low net honors go to Neal—well done! Dr. Doug Walsh and Darrell Ruehle both finished with 72 nets, with Doug taking 2nd and Darrell 3rd after a scorecard playoff. Al Dan and Tom Hebert tied at 73 nets, sharing the Atta Boy recognition.
