at the Coleman, including Scott Harvey, who
shot a final-round 71 to
tie for third place alongside Edward
Richardson.
Roger Newsom and Skip Berkmeyer tied for
fith
place, finishing six
shots back of Christovich.

ABOUT THE
Coleman Invitational
One of the very best amateur events all year
long played on the last great private course
designed by Donald Ross. The course, not long
by
today's standards, lies hard by the Atlantic
Ocean. Oceanic winds and very fast greens
give
this course teeth. Ben Hogan once said 'If you
can play Seminole, you can play any course in
the world.'
The tournament is a 54-hole stroke play invitational
that draws an elite field of mid-
amateurs and seniors.
