After the first round, the pair trailed by one stroke after shooting a seven-under par 65. Robert Hess, of Casselberry, and Doug Snoap, from Apopka, continued their solid play in the final round by carding an impressive eight-under par 64, for a tournament total of fifteen-under par 129, and a three stroke victory.
