Michael Weeks prevailed in a playoff to win the Florida State Mid-Senior Championship at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach. The Championship was held from August 19-21.

Michael Weeks, of Jupiter, recorded a final round one-under par 71 for a tournament total of four-under par 212 to find himself tied with the Defending Champion Bobby Bird, of Vero Beach and John Wegmann, of Southwest Ranches after 54-holes of play. Weeks fired a first round of four-under par 68 and followed that up with a second round of one-over par 73.  Bird posted rounds of 70-75-67 as Wegmann posted rounds of 72-70-70.  The trio would head for a sudden death playoff to determine the Champion. The sudden-death playoff would go two holes with Weeks making a 3-foot birdie on the 18th hole for the victory.  This is Weeks first State Championship.  Stephen Anderson, of Hobe Sound, finished one stroke back with a tournament total of three-under par 213 to take home fourth place honors.
