However, the lowest score to be shot in round 8

was by Todd Barfield and Lewis Burton. For Burton,

it was a prideful score after experiencing a
tournament comprised of inconsistent rounds. For

Barfield, it placed him in a tie for the lead with

Johnson and Matthews.

This was the second time, out of three Invitationals,

of which a winner would be decided by a playoff.

Matthews continued his outstanding putting in the
playoff by shooting a 23, winning by one stroke over

Barfield and Johnson.

In the APA Division, William Glisson started the
Cliff Matthews
tournament with a 33, but the remaining 7 rounds were

played with consistently low scores. With a total of 215, Glisson beat
Brian Hutchins by two strokes and Robin Ventura by three strokes.

In the 2001 National Invitational, the leaders would average 25.1

strokes per round. Mike Brown would average 26.5 strokes per round
and miss making money by one stroke. In 2002, Mike Brown won the

National Invitational by besting the fellow that shot one of the low
rounds in round 8 of the 2001 event – Lewis Burton. The tournament

was held in Fredericksburg, VA – and was comprised of the best putters

from several decades. The first-round lead was by a familiar name
among the leaders, Randy Reeves. He shot a score of 23, to lead by one

stroke over Manfred Stewart, Thomas Rawles, and Mike McCormick.

He led by two over Buddy Taylor, Kevin Lacey, John Napoli, Lee
Messenger, Vince Batten, Charlie Greenwalt, and Darrell Anderson.

The day had started with a steady breeze, but by round two the wind

was now blowing harder, and the course was exposed to direct wind.
The lowest score shot for round two was a 24 by Jeff Spainhour and
