Tournament summary

[edit]

A couple of future big names were unsuccessful at the tournament. Corey Pavin was "an unexpected failure" failing to move past the regional qualifying section.[3][4] In the finals, Bob Tway shot a closing 81, including a three-putt on the final green to miss earning a card by a stroke.[5]
