Berganio, who also won the APL title in 1991 and was the qualifying medalist this time, assumed a lead of 1 up after the first 18 holes. Then he birdied four of the next nine holes to grab a 5 up lead and never was seriously threatened the rest of the way.

More than 6,000 entries were accepted for the third consecutive year.
