Don Kuehn of Kansas City shot the
low score of the day to win the StateLine Amateur Tour event at
Falcon Lakes Golf Course. Kuehn used four birdies in route to
his 4-under par 68 performance. The 4-under par 68 posted by Kuehn
ties him with Aaron Steven's for
the low gross score of the year on the Tour. Kuehn's playing
partner Tom Bachelor, the reigning Kansas City Amateur Senior
Division champion, also shot an impressive round with a 3-under par
69, good enough for a second place finish.

the first hole, Klos finished his round with five birdies. In

successful week with a 1-over par 73.
Steve Hammond of Parkville
continued his dominance in the Players Division as he won the gross
