Congratulations to the Moritz team, who held on by the slimmest of margins to edge the Kraus team for the second half championship. It came down to the final match-up of the night, which was finished in near darkness. Paul Schuettler pulled away from Matt Blouin to grab a poitn and the team points for Moritz. That was enough to give the Moritz team a 34.5-34.0 victory over the Kraus team, who pulled in 5.5 points in their match-up.

Results of the League Championship match between the McEvilly and Moritz teams will be announced Tuesday at the banquet.

Tournament and Sy Brandt Standings

The tournament standings can be viewed here. The far-right column shows the sum of the best two scores for each golfer who's played at least twice. I have sorted each flight by this number. The "Score" column to the left of that shows each golfer's three-round score.

It looks like Brad Nelson has a stranglehold (cue the Ted Nugent) on the Sy Brandt Sportsmanship Award. Nothing short of an "accident" or a last-second computer glitch will vault the much-deserving runner-up to the top spot. Does anybody have Jeff Gillooly's phone number?
