David Lynch Wins PPA Oklahoma State Tour Event in Lawton, OK

15 August 2004 - Lawton, OK - Waking up Sunday morning and stepping out to face the day, your heart drops as the rain came down. After such a beautiful day Saturday for the Texas event you knew it would be a tough miserable day on the greens today. Some would not even attempt it, after traveling to Lawton from other locations miles down the road, they would head home early for the day. But those who stayed showed the heart that keeps this sport going. We could all give up in adversity, but then our sport would have folded years ago.

The course was totally soaked. Two holes were starting to become unplayable due to the inches of water building up across the carpet. Two holes were following close behind. Practice was spent finding out how hard you would have to hit the ball to get it through the puddles. Yes, this was one of those days that you do not worry about statistics like stroke average.

Two people started the day like they were playing on the west coast on a perfect, sunny day. David Lynch in the PPA division started the day by acing the first six holes and shooting a 28 and Trevor Lewin in the APA division started off with a 4-under 32 to set the bar low for the amateurs.

In the second round, David removed his chokehold on the competition by shooting a 34 and allowing Rod Phillips to move within two with a second round total score of 64. David Lynch decided to get back on the ace machine for the final round and shot a final round of 29 and a total for the day of 91. Rod Phillips came in second, 7 strokes back, with a 98. State spots went to David Lynch, Rod Phillips and Jody Kimble.
