Greg Everly Defeats Steve Armstrong in a Playoff for Win in Round Rock

26 August 2001 - Round Rock, TX - After two rounds of play in Round Rock Greg Everly was looking to finish off a dominating start of 24 - 24 in the first two rounds and possibly tie or beat the Texas record of a 10 stroke victory in a three round event. Greg Everly ran into some problems during the third round and limped in with a 2 under 34 allowing Steve Armstrong to pull even and force an 18 hole playoff. Both players struggled during the playoff and coming to the last hole Greg held a slim one stroke lead over Steve at 4-under par. When Steve failed to ace the final hole Greg took the safe play and laid up for his par, the win, and a spot in the Texas State Finals. The other two spots available that weekend went to Don Parker and Tim Murphree.

In the amateur division Alan Thomas of Waco, TX opened play with a 9-under 27 to take a 2 stroke lead over Steve Tanton and Andy Gaiser. Allen only managed a 5 under 31 in the second round but still held on to a lead of 1 over Steve Tanton and 3 over Andy Gaiser and Wade Sahmel. Alan struggled from the beginning of the third round and fell to a fifth place finish. In the meantime Wade Sahmel took control of the event with APA best 10 under 26 which took him from a 3 stroke deficit going into the last round to a 5 stroke victory. State spots went to Ken Beck, Alan Thomas and Dave Blaylock.
