Host professional Gary Lindeblad became, perhaps, the most popular champion of the Rosauers Open by overcoming all the distractions associated with staging the event and beating Mark Keating on the first hole of the playoff. Lindeblad’s win was the first by a host professional at a NWPGA section event since 1964 and earned him $12,000.

Four players – Lindeblad, Keating, gallery favorite Lou Alleman and former touring professional pat Fitzsimons – were all tightly bunched heading into the final round. But Lindeblad, playing ahead of the others, birdied five of his first six holes to jump into the lead and finished regulation play with another birdie to post a 54-hole total of 12-under-par 201.

Keating and Fitzsimons both had a chance to tie Lindeblad by making birdie on the 18^th, but only Keating was equal to the tank – thanks to a superb up and down from a greenside bunker. On the first playoff hole, Keating flew his approach over the green on the par-4 10^th and was unable to get it up and down for the par that would have matched LIndeblad’s two-putt four.
