Family duel shapes back nine in tense golf showdown
Gober bogeyed the 11th and 13th with four strokes lost on each hole while a tee shot on the 13th left him 18 feet from the pin but four more strokes to finish. Art Smith from Albuquerque posted a 73 with a strong drive but balked by short putts. Smith and his foursome note his putter’s quirks cost several strokes. Smith, a commercial pilot and former Amarillo resident, lamented the fifth hole misfortune as the round ended.
