In second place with a 59 were Susie Gilbert, Todd Messmer, Steve Landgraf, Ron Siembeck, Kevin Beranek and Rob Gandrud. They each got $35 gift certificates. Four teams had scores of 11 under par 60, so scorecards were matched to determine the winners of third through fifth place. Third place went to Clyde Johnson, Bruce Morgan, Paul Rogosheski and Drs. Pat Cronin, Steve Schmitz and Butch Leyda. They got $25 each. In fourth place were Wally McCarthy, Todd Garamella, Ian Moquist, John Fugari, Jeremy Segal and Josh Segal, who won $20 gift certificates.
