Bryan, TX (July 11, 2010) - The last stroke has been made in the Father-Son Championship at Miramont Country Club and the event could not have been more of a success. Patches of clouds dotting the blue skies and a slight breeze made for a picturesque Sunday of golf for the fathers and sons. The more than photogenic Robert Trent Jones, Jr design offered ideal conditions and scenery for the final day of competition. To compliment the sights, one team ran away with the show to finish at 17 under par.
