Tour perennial power Aaron Stevens
of Shawnee used eight birdies today in route to an impressive
4-under par 68 to take top honors in the Open Division at
WinterStone Golf Course. Steven's score is the lowest gross
score for the season on the Tour and came on a day that proved to be
highly competitive for all divisions. Right behind Stevens was
Kurt Lorenzen who also had an extremely solid round with an 3-under
par 69. Lorenzen hopes to continue his strong play as he will
play in the US Amateur Public Links Championship next month at
Murphey Creek Golf Course in Aurora Colorado. There were a
total of five rounds of even par or less in the Open Division.
In the Senior Open Division, Dana
Harris of Overland Park, Mark Addington of Olathe, and Tom Leonard
of Leawood all shot a one over par 73 to share top honors.
Addington's round was highlighted by an eagle on the 536 yard par 5
16th hole.
Tour rookie Robert Fernquist or
Warrensburg won his second event of the season in the Players
Division gross scoring with a 2-under par 70 performance.
David Kirschbaum of Kansas City and Steve Hammond of Parkville tied
for second with 2-over par 74's. In net scoring Pat Goeke
continued his hot streak as he once again won the flight with a
6-under par 66. Fernquist's round was also good enough for a
second place finish with a 5-under par 67.
In the Legends Division gross
scoring, Grant Renne of Prairie Village and Don Cox of Lake Quivira
shared top honors with 3-over par 75's. In net scoring, Tour
