With this added challenge, the participants played through 36 holes on two different courses, with beautiful golfing weather each day. When it came time to crown a champion, it was a close call, but in the end, Brett McKinnon and Jamie Sweet took the title with a final score of -12 after the two days. Congratulations to all of the division winners!
