He birdied one, five and six to turn in one under then birdied 10 and 12, bogied 13 then birdied 16 and 18 to shoot three under on the back nine.

The golf course was in excellent condition and the staff at Bluebonnet Hills along with the volunteers did an excellent job of presenting the course and running the tournament. Players celebrated after the round with food and beverages. Shown here are some of the players and wifes enjoying the late afternoon breeze and shade on the veranda of the clubhouse while looking over Decker Lake and the setting sun.
