Mike Henry vs. Steve Obana
(Henry wins 3 and 2)
Final Match (First Flight)
Poppy Ridge GC
10/1/00
 Steve Obana teeing off on
Chardonnay #2. Steve had run the 12
kilometer(7.5 miles) Bridge
to Bridge that morning. Fatigue would be his primary liability today,
however, he had won the first hole. His lead would be short-lived, though,
as Mike would win holes 2-6. Steve and Mike played the Chardonnay Course
followed by the Zinfandel Course.

late. A strong performance on the back nine wasn't enough to make up for
the difficult front nine. He ran out of holes after 16.
