Tourney flights have runaway, deadlock
The team of Steve Alexander and Cory Adams scored an easy win in the Championship Flight on Sunday of the annual Beau Jack Invitational Golf Tournament at the Reeves County Golf Course, while the First Flight champion took a lot longer to determine, as four teams ended up in a first place tie after the final 18 holes of the two-day tournament.
Alexander and Adams went out to a five-stroke lead after the first day of play, shooting a 60, and came close to matching that score on Sunday, firing a 61 to finish with a 121 score and a 10-stroke victory over Tim Phillips and Shawn Savage, who shot a 67-64-131.
Third place went to Ruben and Michael Baca, after they won a one-hole playoff over Mike and Allen Claburn. Both teams ended regulation with 133 scores, after the Bacass shot a 65-68 and the Claburns had round of 66 and 67. Ruben Baca also collected a hole-in-one during the first day of the tournament, hitting it in on the seventh hole of play Saturday.
The winner of the First Flight was decided three holes into a playoff, but the remaining teams had to keep on playing to decide the second and third place finishers. Mike Ortiz and Jerry Ornelas were able to come into the clubhouse early after winning first, while Craig Davis and Terry Ott ended up second and John and Armando Granado were the third place finishers.
All three teams, plus Carl and Paul Warren, wound up with 139 scores in regulation. The Warrens had the best round on Saturday, with a 65, but went up to a 74 on Sunday. Ortiz and Ornelas shot rounds of 69 and 70, while Davis and Ott had 72 and 67 runs and the Granados shot a 68 on Saturday and a 71 on Sunday.
This year’s tournament had four flights, with the second and third flight winners having to play through rain during their opening round Saturday morning. Despite that, two of the top three finishers ended up with better scores than the four teams that tied for first in the First Flight.
In the Second Flight, Ronnie Ontiveros and Trey Lawrence shot 68 both days of play to win first place with a 136 total, and were followed by Tim Doan and Lance Windham, who shot 66 on Saturday and 72 on Sunday for a 138 total. Third place was Don Maldonado and Tom Aguilar, which placed with a 71-72-147 score.
In the Third Flight, Jerry Patterson and Jack Stickels won a playoff over Don Alligood and John Contreras, after both teams finished with 150 scores. Patterson and Stickels had a 74 on Saturday and a 76 on Sunday, while the scores were reversed by Alligood and Contreras. Finishing third were Matt Williamson and Steve Smith, who shot a 73 on Saturday and a 78 Sunday to finish with a 151 score.
