Putt Pirates

The fifth-anniversary Cup left California for the mountains of Mesquite. Gale-force winds on Thursday and Friday, then perfect conditions.

The final above is computed from the published day-by-day totals — this Cup's recap never stated one.

Day One · Scramble · Wolf Creek

Gusty desert winds put wind in the Pirates' sails. At one point six of eight matches were level; the Pirates pulled away late to lead 6–2.

Day Two · Best Ball · Wolf Creek

The OG's roared back with a 6–2 day of their own to level it at 8–8, setting up anybody's game on Sunday.

Day Three · Singles · Conestoga

The OG's won the first five matches. The rest split almost evenly, but that early lead held — 10½–5½ on the day, and a three-peat.

Stay-and-play at Eureka put the entire field in one place for the first time.
