Larry Brady and Dennis Troy
|
He had been a high finisher in many ZTO's, but this year Larry Brady, of Barrington, IL, took the championship in a sudden-death playoff from last year's runner-up, Sumeet Arora. Weather conditions were perfect the weekend of July 17 and 18, which yielded better scoring from the leaders. Brady (-2, 52) and 3 other golfers including Arora, the first-day leader (-3, 51), finished Saturday with under par scores.
But the Par 3 golf course yielded fewer good scores on Sunday. Arora's double-bogey on the 15th hole seemed to give the championship to Brady, but Sumeet finished par-birdie-birdie to tie him at 1-over par 109 for the championship. Then, Brady drained an 8 foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win the customary Zigfield Troy straw hat. It was the second straight year that Arora lost the championship in a playoff.
Other division winners this year included: Alysen Troy - 119 (Women), David Henry - 116 (Senior), David Griffins - 120 (Super Senior) and Kyle Grassel - 124 (High School).
