Mike Brown wins Again at Richmond, VA (31 July 1999)

Mike Brown Wins Again at Richmond on the Virginia State Tour

Richmond, VA - Mike Brown continued his winnings ways at the Richmond, VA Putt-Putt Golf course. Brown won the first Virginia State event on this course in 1999 and won this event, a make-up for a rain-out from April. Brown's path to victory was not an easy one.

Brad Lebo opened with a course record tying round of 20 to lead Brown and the field by two-strokes after the first round. Lebo's round of 20, 16-under par, was the product of front and back nine of 10, 8-under par. Lebo cooled of in the second round and shot a round of 27, 9-under par, to hold a one stroke lead at 47, 25-under par, over Brown whose second round of 26, 10-under par, picked up one-stroke on Lebo.

Brown's final round of 27, 9-under par, was enough to pass Lebo, who faltered with a final round of 29 and hold off Gary Hinshaw and Gilbert Sharpe who closed with rounds of 25 and 23 respectively. Finishing in fourth was Ken Cook who posted rounds of 24 and 24 after a disappointing opening round of 29 to post a total of 77. Rounding out the money winners were Bart Bason at 78, Danny Dore and Thomas Rawles at 79, and Mike Damsky and Rodney Ashely at 80.

Once again, the amateurs put up scores that nearly matched the professional scores on the same course. Matt Summey, continuing his strong play in 1999, posted a two-stroke victory shooting 76, 32-under par, for the three rounds. Summey closed with a final round of 25, 11-under par, to break out of a three-way tie for the lead at 51 after two rounds. Finishing in second was William Glisson whose consistent rounds of 26, 26, and 26 for a total of 78 was only good enough for a second place finish. Rounding out the money winners in the amateur field were Wesley Pollard at 79 and Chuck Cyr, Randy Fitzgerald, and Matt Coghill all at 80.
