The Round 2 leaderboard - and surprisingly our opening round leader, Mark Allison, appears to have dropped out of the tourney, although there is still plenty of time for him to take up where he left off. So, at the halfway stage, Ian McKinley is the new frontrunner, closely followed by Bob Fletcher, but with the weather forecast to remain very bad, if not become worse, anything could still happen. Terry Baldwin was unable to find his good opening round form and has dropped down to joint 17th place, while double event winner Les Souter showed some improvement in the second round, he is still well off the pace and appears to be now out of contention.    |

The final leaderboard - and what a nail-biting finish that was!! Ian McKinley carded a 72 but couldn't quite make it over the finish line and was pipped at the post by RON CERRUDO, who took the Texas Open title by a single stroke. This is the first event of the season that has been won by a PGA Tour professional, and it is Ron's second career win, his first coming at the 1968 Cajun Classic Open. Bob Fletcher managed to tie for 8th place in spite of a horrendous final round 77, while Juan Aetee finished way back in joint 40th. After a couple of promising opening rounds Charlie Roberts struggled in the latter half of the tourney, eventually concluding the event in a tie for 65th place. Kudos to new addition to the tour Mark Lipping for finishing this tournament. He found the going extremely tough but saw it through to the end. Hopefully we will see Mark at Doral next week. The best rounds of the week, a couple of 65's, were recorded by Ron Cerrudo in Round 2 and by his long-time rival Dick Lotz in Round 3. Thanks to those who completed what was a very difficult event, let's hope it's a little easier in Florida next week...  Ron Cerrudo holes a birdie putt in the final round on his way to the Texas Open title... Ron kisses his winner's cheque for $20,000...   |
