After a triple bogey followed by two double bogeys Pat found himself seven over par after only three holes, but settled down to play the next 5 holes in one over and turn after nine in 46, finishing with a gross score of 91 and net of 71 -one under par. Pat's gross score placed him in a four way tie for the C grade gross and he was declared the winner using the countback.
