The winners of the event, with a 13-under par, were professional John Jacobs and amateurs Scott Seymour, J. Lowell Rolquin, Kevin Carter and Todd Lindenmuth. Local favorite played Jeff Sluman and nephew Trevor Sluman in a group that included his broth- er Brad Sluman and making it a real family affair, nephew Trevor Sluman served as Brad’s .
