The brothers-in-law from Charlotte, N.C., turned a three-shot lead into a six-shot victory at Pine Needles
Boner and Woodard extended their three-shot lead to a six-shot cushion on Sunday. Behind them, Bill Kwasnick and Chad Day, Southern Pines locals, tied with Mark and Brian Gauley, both from Raleigh, N.C., with 54-hole scores of 203.
Boner is almost in that category, having made it to the final match of the Mid-Am in September before falling to fellow North Carolinian Kevin O'Connell.
