The Third Flight was won by Art Singley, Paul Orman, Greg Hartseil and Carl Yeager with a 55.

Placing second was Todd Schwingel, Mike Murphy, Dennis Murphy and Brian Murphy with a 57, while Kurt Wall, Tom Watson, Jim Laird and Billy Drummond finished third at 59.

Closest-to-the-pin winners were Billy Drummond on hole No. 5, Dick White on hole No. 9 and Don Belcher on hole No. 16.
