Ritter Wins City Golf Title in Sudden Death
Bill Ritter defeated Bill Osborne in a sudden death playoff at Brown's Run to capture the Men's City Golf Championship. Both finished 72 holes at 292. Ritter sealed victory with an eight foot birdie on the first extra hole after Osborne matched pars on 16 and 17 and a closing par on 18. Osborne led after rounds two and three, but Ritter earlier eagled the second hole and birdied seven to seize a one stroke edge. Ritter’s win marks the 10th city title for the Ritter brothers since 1949, with Jim and Tommy among prior champions.
