Al Simpson
Takes Fort Worth Title With Easy Win
Fort Worth, TX - The head to head
competition which prevailed in other $1000 tournaments reversed and
produced an almost walk-away win for Al Simpson, of Lake Charles La. Al,
who owns and manages the Putt-Putt Course in Lake Charles La, left a 5
stroke gap between first and second places as he pocketed his $300
winner's check. After the first 18 holes of the four round tournament,
he found himself tied with a number of putters. Each had a 5 under par
31. In his second round, however, he bewildered his fellow pros with an
8 under par 28 and closed the door on first place. Second through sixth
place produced the only real putting duel. Here just 2 strokes separated
five men. Mac McCart of Fort Worth led the duel with a 128 good for
second place. One stroke back in third place was Bob Agee of
Jacksonville Fla.
