Crusade Open drew 132 players in 33 teams, and the best team, by 5 shots was the team of O'Hara Insurance formed by Brad O'Hara, Jorey Price, Dustin Gunkel and Ricky Nagel. Their score in winds of up to 40 mph was a 56! The only score under 60.
Next at 61 was the team of Brad Harguess (no team members' names were available). In the "B" Flight, 1st place was K.E.C.O. with a 67 that won a card playoff against Beck's Trucking (team members' names were not available).This is the ninth Crusade Open held by former Hammon resident, and now Oklahoma City pastor Kurtis Ivey who prefers to come to his native area for this event that raises funds for various worthy causes his church supports.
The tournament also gave lots of door prizes as well as very nice prizes for closest to the pin and long drives on various holes. The best prize was a set of Ping G15 irons won by Rod Oottom who won the prize by being the closest to the pin on the tough #13 hole! Other people who won prizes were Bob Miller (CTP #10), Al Barnett (CTP #5); Billy Kamphaus (LD #15) and Bob Miller -again-, (LD #4).
A big "Thank You" to Eric Little and Josh Moran who along with Mr. Ivey, handled the entries and all of the pre-tournament donations and prizes.... and, we'll see you next year!
