Briefly:  Dru Fenimore of Dallas and Jason Schultz of Allen held a share of the lead and converted to win the North Four-Ball by two over Josh Irving and Scott Volpitto. Fenimore and Schultz much like the weather took a little while to get warmed up but once they reached the par four, seventh they never looked back. A birdie there and three on the back side saw them complete the wire to wire victory. Finishing in solo second was Dallas’ Josh Irving and Scott Volpitto.
