Haggerty Claims Carolinas' Open Title

Ed Haggerty scored holes-in-one on his first 10 holes of an 18-hole playoff and went on to post a three stroke victory over Gastonia, N.C. pro Randy Stone to claim the $10,000 Professional Putters Association Carolina’s Open Championship.

Haggerty and Stone both finished at 202, 86 under par, after eight rounds of regulation play in this, the final PPA tour event of the season. Former World Champion Buddy Taylor of Baltimore, Md., was third at 204, followed by ex-two time World Champion Dick Florin or Atlanta, Ga., at 205.

In the Amateur Putters Association, 17-year-old high school senior David McCaslin of Memphis, Tenn., took top honors with an amateur record score of 196, 92 under par and a 12-stroke victory. Alan Quinnelly of Atlanta, Ga., and Steve Arnold of Charlotte, N.C. tied for second at 208, 80 under par.
