15th August 2 - 5, 1973 Niagara Gazette Monday, August 6, 1973 challenges young ‘uns See what you can do... next year Marvin (Vinny) Giles was enjoying every second of his spectacular victory at the 15th Porter Cup at NFCC. Beer in hand, he entered the tent for the awards ceremony and was accorded a standing ovation by fans and competitors alike.

He had just blazed through 18 holes of in a tourney record 63 that carried him from a four-stroke deficit to his first triumph in this amateur classic after six tries. He ripped apart the 6,526-yard course with six birdies and an eagle in the final round.

Gary Koch, whose name was immortalized in Porter Cup lore during Chairman Bill Quirk’s post-tournament remarks, led the field by two strokes going into the last round but double-bogeyed the ninth hole to fall from the lead. 1973 Champion Vinny Giles (left) with 1972 Champ
