But Wolfe caught fire on the back nine, playing his last seven holes in 5-under-par, capping off his tremendous run with a twenty foot birdie putt on the last hole for the title.
"I asked you (tournament director Pete Wlodkowski) how I stood on the last hole, and when I heard I had my putt to win I made sure to hit a solid putt and it went in," said Wolfe, who plays for the Cal Berkeley golf team. Bill Moore and Martin Trainer tied for second at 151.
Rob Thompson also made a birdie putt to win his title, in the Senior Division. Thompson's putt came in sudden death, after he and defending champ John Enright tied at 152. Thompson, in the playoff, continued momentum gathered in Sunday's round, where he turned around a first round 81 by shooting 71.
Fred Luper of Suisun defended his Net Division title with a single shot victory over Dan Gray of Patterson.
"After yesterday's round, I can't believe I'm sitting here with the trophy," said Luper.
