Charlotte, NC   …Lehman Key, pro from Lake Charles, Louisiana, whose previous PPPGA tourney winnings had totaled $365, added $1,000 to that amount on Saturday, July 9, as he copped first place in the $2,000 Charlotte, NC PPPGA tourney with his 21 under par 195.

John Connor from Greenville, SC, shot a 197, 19 under par, for second place and $500, followed by Tracy Moore working pro from Augusta, Georgia, shooting 198, good for third place and $200.
