Their rounds of 65-61 for an 18-under 126 gave them a two-stroke victory over the first-round leaders. The teams of Jimmy Jones/Richard Kerper and Brian Keenan/Paul Royak each came firing back with final rounds of 8-under 63, but came up short and in a tie for third.
The teams of Bobby Lundquist/Jerry Young and Robert Cunningham/Ronald Cornette looked to chase down the defending champs after their rounds of 3-under 69 on Tuesday. Birdies were needed in a hurry for either team to catch Sponder/Rosenbaum.
Wednesday brought a little more drama as the leadboard became much tighter. Low numbers were to be had - the teams of Pete Andrews/Skip Lujack and Joseph Branconi/Tom Grady each fired final rounds of 6-under 66, but were just too far back to start the day. Our first-round leaders, Sponder/Rosenbaum, played a steady final round and ended with a clutch birdie on their last to secure their round of 2-under 70.
The team of Cornette and Cunningham came roaring back with a round of 4-under 68 to tie the first-round leaders at 7-under 137 total. However, both teams were edged by the team of Bobby Lundquist and Jerry Young. Lundquist/Young had their own heroics by topping the birdie made by Steve Sponder and Marc Rosenbaum on the last hole of regulation. This putt gave Lundquist and Young a two-day total of 8-under 136, and the outright victory.
