Especially in a tournament. But for Bob Greer of Listowel, the former assistant greens keeper at Sunset, his familiarity with the course did not translate into a competitive edge. Greer -bogeyed two of the final three holes and then watched Kevin Pettit of London Sunningdale birdie the first extra playoff hole to wrestle the low gross title from his grasp at the Sunset Men's Invitation Wednesday. Pettit reached the playoff hole, a par five, in two and two -putted for the tournament victory. Greer chipped to within four feet of the pin on his third shot, but hisbirdie attempt slid past the high side of the hole. Pettit's win came on the heels of a fine three -under -par 32 on the back nine after shooting a two -over -par 37 on the front. Greer all but had the tournament wrapped as he approached the par three 16th tee at three -under -par. He pulled his tee shot on16, settled for a bogey and then two -putted 17 for a par. Needing only a par on the 18th to win, Greer pulled his nine -iron approach into the trap. He blasted out of the trap to the edge of green. but left his par attempt three feet short. He made the putt to force the playoff. The overall low net winner for the day was Bill Youngblut of Sunset. Sunset winners in the first flight were; Tony Bedard, Brian •Reeve and Paul Baechler. Dave Dodds of Sunningdale took low gross honours, in the second flight while Pat Conlon was low net in the group.
