Spokane’s oldest weekend tournament was won by Eric Billaux and Drew Bunch. They each scored 4.0 to finish one-half point ahead of Michael Cambareri, Ken Erickson, and James Stripes. The competition at the top was intense — Ken beat Eric and lost to Drew, and only a half-point bye on Saturday night kept him off the top line.
A more complete story from TD Craig Moore is expected in coming days.
