Ramrod Makes It Fore!

Ramrod Ramsey successfully defended his 1997 title and proceeded to rewrite the annals of Mongrel Masters history to take out a record fourth Championship.

Having shot a record high winning score of 40, Ramrod also became the first player to ever successfully defend his title for the second time.

In a see-sawing tournament which saw five different players at some time lead the tournament, Ramrod Ramsey showed why he has become one of the all time greats by coming back from the brink of defeat to par the eighth and scramble from one shot off the pace to take the lead and hold off the charge from the usual suspects, Harold P Ouvrier, Red Colby and some unlikely candidates, Box Car Willey and Chad G Todd.

All of these players left the course thinking," if only I had" after being so close yet so far from donning the Blue Tweed.

With no Sledge Ball held for this year and conditions perfect for golf, many pundits were scratching their heads wondering why the scores were so high?

Of note was the poor form of Mongrel Masters Order of Merit number one Noni Scanlon. Who for the first time in the tournaments history missed out on a top 5 finish and recorded his highest ever score.

Many believe that they witnessed a changing of the guard and that Noni’s tenancy at the top was now limited.

All await this years Masters for the answer.
