Staying in second place, Wild Coyote golfers Gary Thompson, Howard Morkert, Kevin Sparks and Kelly Kovarik teamed up to shoot the low team gross of 178, with Sparks nabbing low net honors with a well-adjusted round of 32.

Whitefish Credit Union golfers Chuck Manry, Wally Gibe, Jens Jentzen and Ron Beaty shot the low team net of 144.

In individual hole play, Sparks was closest to the pin in 3 on No. 2, Steve Anderson made the long putt on No. 3, Morkert was closest to the pin off the tee on No. 5 and again on No. 8, Thompson had the night’s long putt on No. 6, Caleb Bates smashed the long drive on No. 9 and Jess Mack hit the long 55+ drive on No. 9.

Mike Gilmore made the only chip-in shot of the round on No. 15.
