Barger Wins Mid-Senior

After more than an hour rain delay, Rick Barger beat Gary Keymont on the fourth playoff hole to capture the Florida State Mid-Senior Championship at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie on August 20-22. Barger, of Merritt Island, was one back from Keymont, the leader, going into the final round. Playing the South course on the last day, Barger fired a 1-under par 71 and combined with his 74-69 finished with a three-day total 214. Keymont, of Or- lando, shot an even par 72 in the final round to also finish at 214 and force a playoff. After both competitors made par on the first playoff hole, play was suspended due to bad weather. Play finally resumed and Barger and Keymont continued to make par on the second and third playoff holes. On the fourth play- off hole, Barger drained a three foot putt for birdie to clinch the Championship. The 2002 Champion, John Corzilius, from GaryGary KKeymonteymont and RickRick BBargerarger Englewood, shot a 73-74-70--217 to finish three strokes back. Doug Snoap, of Apopka, posted a 72-72-74--218 to place fourth. Defending Champion, Paul Melson, of Plantation, recorded a 73-76-72—221 as did Bret Voisin, of Orlando, shoot a three-day total 221.
