Raeford, NC....Mark Slawter, Raleigh, NC., shot a bogey free round of 66 to win the Samuel Adams Classic in Raeford, NC. Slawter started the day one behind third round leader, Chad Campbell, but quickly erased the lead with birdies at one and two. "I went out today with a game plan and my caddy and myself said we were not going to dismiss it not matter what went on," commented Slawter.
Slawter, who played golf at North Carolina State and was an All-American in 1994, is a champion for the first time on the NGA Tour. He used a front nine 4 under par, 32 and a back nine 2 under par, 34 to win. "The difference came with my birdie at fourteen," said Slawter, "it gave me a
big boost." Slawter came to the eighteenth with a two stroke lead and was
able to make par to seal the win. "I knew I was the shorter hitter of the group so I was comfortable with the 2 shot lead," said Slawter.
Bill Lunde, Hederson, NV., finished in second at 268, 20 under par for the tournament. Chad Campbell, Andrews, TX., finsished alone in third at 269, 19 under par. Campbell was looking for his seventh win of the year on the NGA Tour but will now look forward to another shot next week.
The NGA Tour now heads for Wilmington, NC and the Michelob Light Classic to be played at The Cape Golf & Racquet Club. The tournament gets under way on Thursday, July 20th.
