Wade Sahmel Sweeps Weekend on
PPA Texas State Tour

12 May 2002 - Beaumont, TX - After a tough day on Saturday the players were hoping the wind would die down to make for an easier day of putting, it got worse instead. David Lynch took the opening round lead with an 8 under 28, one stroke better than Steve Armstrong. David and Steve swapped positions after the second round with Steve now holding the lead by one. After the third round was completed things had tightened up considerably for the last round. David Lynch and Ken Beck were now tied for the lead with Steve Armstrong one stroke back and another four players 2 strokes back. Only one player was able shoot lower than a 4 under the last round, that was Wade Sahmel with 7 under 29. This gave Wade the days win, a world spot and a weekend sweep. State spots went to Steve Armstrong, Don Parker, and Ken Beck

In the amateur division Steve Tanton rode a 9-under 27 in the third round to his fourth title of year and in the process kept the weekend from being a complete sweep by the Sahmel brothers. State spots went to Mickey DeLucca, Trevor Lewin and Parker Beck.
