Scott Has 66 To Lead Pro-Am
Bob Scott was not a very hospitable host to the other 48 pros and 198 amateurs in the Washington Trust Bank Pro-Am Monday at Liberty Lake Golf Course.
Scott, the Liberty Lake pro, took advantage of his knowledge to carve four strokes off par for a 33-33-66 and his first outright win of the season in the Pro-Am series.
Paul McCarthy of Lewiston (36-31) and Dan Porter of Downriver (33-34) had 67s to share second.
Twelve pros broke par, including seniors Ken Johnston of Sun Dance (33-35), who knocked in his second shot on the par 4 9th hole (his 18th) for a 68 that bested Larry Becker of Wandermere (35-34) by a stroke.
Amateur gross honors were shared by Matt Johnston of Painted Hills (34-35) and Ray Kennedy of Esmeralda (36-33) at 69.
Les Mueller of Chewelah also shot a 69, but he opted for the net division and the 8-handicapper shared first there with Phil Hauck of Wandermere with adjusted scores of 64.
Next week’s Pro-Am will be at the Coeur d’Alene Golf Club. The Pro-Senior will be Sept. 25 at Hayden Lake, with shotgun starts at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
