The $500 putting contest was won by Randy Sieminski and Mike Herzog (left, waching his tying putt) who decided to split the money after going several rounds in a putt off.

Following the tournament a steak dinner was held at the course provided by Mulligans Restaurant. After dinner the awards were handed out along with numerous door prizes that were donated by local businesses, organizations and individuals. A 50/50 drawing was held that was won by SUNY Canton Director of Food Service Sue Law who graciously donated the money back to the athletic department. Another drawing was held for a Roo Package that included over $250 worth of apparel and merchandise that was donated by Corey Jordan from the Campus Store.

A big thanks to Kevin Maginn and his entire staff at Partridge Run, Dennis Walsh and his staff from Mulligans, the athletic department staff, corporate sponsors Victory Promotions and the St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union, and all the hole sponsors and prize donations.
