For the second year in a row, mother nature impacted the popular St. Andrews Masters tournament this past weekend. With 5 matches played Friday evening, rain forced me to completely cancel play on Saturday. I apologize to all for the weather. 66 players held out and what was supposed to be played over 2 days, saw all 60 matches played on Sunday. With a few modifications in the scoring and the cooperation of the players, Sunday was a great day for everyone. The following are the final results and again I apologize if I don’t have everyone’s hometown correct:
