In one of the most exciting shootouts ever, Dirk Schultz defeated Denny Stoner in a chip-off on the 18th Hole.  Both players parred the 18th hole.  Dirk chipped first to 8′ 2″.  Denny’s chip was 8′ 6″. 

20 Golfers began the sudden-death format.  There were 5 groups of four golfers each.  Each group played the holes in a match play format with the loser of the hole being eliminated.  If there was no clear-cut loser on the hole, then a “chip-off” is required.  The golfer with the worst chip is eliminated.  Play continues until there is only one golfer remaining from the 5 groups.

The five group winnners proceeded to the 15th hole to determine the champion.  Here were those results:

Hole 15:  Denny Stoner (birdie)
                   Dirk Schultz (par)
                   Kenny Smith (par)
                   Pat Steiner (par)
                   Mike Butts (bogey) – eliminated

Hole 16:  Dirk Schultz (par)
                   Kenny Smith (par)
                   Denny Stoner (bogey) – chip-off 3’4″
                   Pat Steiner (bogey) – eliminated in chip-off 5’2″

Hole 17:  Dirk Schultz (par)
                   Denny Stoner (par)
                   Kenny Smith (double-bogey) – eliminated

Hole 18:  Dirk Schultz (par) – chip-off 8′ 2″
                   Denny Stoner (par) – chip-off 8′ 6″
