NOTES -- A total of 91 players competed, including Denver Otteson of Class A Tonopah. He had 88-86--174 to finish 14th in the Silver Flight. ... Teammates Chris Greber and Alex Bridgman added 106-94--200 and 122-122--244, respectively. ... The weather was almost perfect on Monday with temperatures in the 70s and barely a whisper of wind, but wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour -- and one which created a nasty-looking, 100-foot high dust devil -- affected play for several players Tuesday.
