John Raymond Opens Season with First Win
Picking up where he left off in last fall’s “Silly Season”, John Raymond scorched the normally very tough Pine View layout for his first career official win in a course and event record 7 under par. Raymond said he did watch the leaderboard and was pushed to birdie 5 of his last 7 holes by a hard charging runner up Kevin Gregoire, who while playing in the group behind Raymond also broke the event record at 5 under par, all acquired over his last 7 holes. Even more impressive was that the dueling duo finished in the treacherous wooded back nine section of holes 11 thru 15. Bill Gordon, playing in Raymond’s group, couldn’t match JR down the stretch and finished 3rd at 1 over par. Chuck Withey finished 4th at 2 over. Gregoire and Greg Nothdurft took the on course prizes. Raymond’s first win comes in his 79th start on Tour after finishing 2nd or 3rd 13 times.
