Duncan Dunks the Animals

Connor Duncan birdied 3 of the first 4 holes to get the lead early, then navigated the Salem Hills course in 1 under par the rest of the way to take his first Tour win. Chris Stalo finished 3 back at 1 under par 71. Michael Thacker logged the best finish of his young career at 1 over par 73. Corey McCue took 4th at 2 over 74. 

McCue also secured both on course prizes with a pair of great iron shots.  Stalo and Jeff Cubel led with 30 putts. Terri Wilder led with 11 fairways to 10 for Helen Puffenberger and Tom W Litzler.  Stewart Levine hit greens. Mike Thacker led with 8 birdies to 7 for Duncan and 6 for Stalo. Jeff Pasz got the lone chip-in for the day. 

Duncan gets his first Tour win in only his 5th start. 

Lance Evert sank a long birdie putt on the 2nd playoff hole to take the Zoo Animal putt off. Rick Floyd, Evert, Tom Carroll and Corey McCue all tied after the regulation 4 hole playoff. Evert and Floyd survived the first playoff hole before Evert ended it on the 2nd.
