Dickson Wins British Amateur Before Army Duty
Dickson edged Ron Cerrudo 2 and 1 in the British Amateur final at Formby to cap his last round before a six month U S Army hitch. The Oklahoma native surged with birdies from holes 28 to 30 to seize control after a tight 27 holes, then closed out on the 36th to claim the title. Cerrudo, from San Rafael, California, fought back with late birdies but could not overcome Dickson's surge.
