Steve
Tanton Posts Eight Stroke Victory
3 September 2005 - Waco, TX
-
The Texas Putting Tour started the final swing of the season
at the Waco, Texas course.
Steve Tanton took control of the
event early on starting out with an 8-under 28 in the first round followed by a
10 under 26 in the second. With those two scores and only one other professional
able to break 30 in any round on the day, Tanton cruised to an easy eight stroke
victory with a three round total of 24 under 84.
Jeffrey Smith took second place. The
win moved Steve into first place in player of the year standings with two
weekends left in the season. State spots went to
James Taylor,
Keith Barfield and
David Lynch.
The amateur division struggled on the tough course but as the players came
down the stretch in the final round it looked like
Trevor Lewin would win his
second event of the year. Two double bogeys over the last four holes would
derail that opportunity and let
Ken Stanfill, coming back from a more than a 20
year absence from putting, to win in his first event of the year. Kens final
total of 8 under 100 was good enough for a one stroke win over Trevor. Everyone
else in the amateur field felt like they had given away a good opportunity as
the whole field finished within five strokes. State spots went to Ken Stanfill,
Jason Sheffield and
Donald Halpain.
