Buddy Taylor Wins Virginia Event in Charlottesville, VA
Charlottesville, VA - Leading by a single stroke after 36-holes of play, Buddy Taylor's final round of 31, 5-under par, was good enough to secure his first victory of 1999 on the Virginia State Tour. Buddy Taylor's total of 90, 18-under par, on the Charlottesville, VA course was enough to hold off a group of four players at 91, 17-under par, that included Brad Lebo, defending tournament champion, Dave Taylor, Danny McCaslin, and Bo Luthie.
With windy conditions, the scoring at the Charlottesville course was high with a low round of 28, 8-under par, posted in the professional field by Dave Taylor, Danny McCaslin, Buddy Taylor, and Bo Luthie. The professional two-person team competition was won by the team of Buddy Taylor and Dave Taylor who combined for a total of 181, 35-under par, and a 4-stroke victory over the team of Rusty Taylor and Danny McCaslin.
In the amateur field, Gil Logan continued his hot play of late by winning by one stroke over Wesley Pollard. Logan's total of 92, 16-under par, bettered Pollard's total of 93 and placed the two amateurs well ahead of the rest of the amateur field. Walter Kolb, who finished tied for fourth, was able to match the tournament best round of 28, 8-under par, in his second round but found trouble in his first and third rounds and was only able to shoot 99, 9-under par, for the tournament.
The Virginia tour is next in action on Sunday, May 2nd, again in Charlottesville, VA. The Virginia tour is playing its first major of the 1999 year in the Dogwood Festival Open. This four-round event will begin at 10 AM and temporarily replaces the Maryland Open on the Virginia tour schedule for 1999.
