Byrd Wins Mobile Open Heads to Montgomery Tourney
Sam Byrd of Detroit won Mobile's inaugural Azalea Open by one stroke in a playoff with Dutch Harrison. Byrd, using a regulation putter, shot a three under par 69 in the playoff to secure $2,000 first prize and advance to the $10,000 Montgomery Invitational. Harrison finished with a 70 after a midround lead slipped away on the 15th hole. The edge came as Byrd steadied with shorter putts and longer ones, while Harrison faltered driving into the woods on 15. Banking notes and odd trivia from ancient times follow the golf report.
