Ron
Terry
Tampa Pro Overpowers
Field To Take Florida Title
St. Pete Times
July 16, 1984
Ron Terry unleashed his awesome power for nine birdies
and cruised to a three-stroke victory in
the $69,000 Florida Open golf tournament
Sunday at Sandpiper Bay.
Terry, 33, a former touring professional from Tampa,
had a 4-under-par 274. His steady
performance included rounds of 68, 69,
and 69 in the first three rounds.
Terry, who won $8,000, was the only player in
the field to break 70 all four days.
Tom Cleaver, another mini-tour player from Tampa,
finished second with a 277 after firing
a final-round 70. Cleaver had tied
the course record on the shorter
Saints course Friday with a 63. He
opened with a 73 and had a 71 in the
third round.
Tied for third at 278 were David Canipe of Orlando,
Beau Baugh of Tampa, Bill Murchison of
Orlando and Robert Black of Sarasota.
Baugh and Murchison shot 73s Sunday,
while Black had a 74 and Canipe finished
with a 71.
Tim Angis of Greenacres City was seventh at 279, and
Mike San Filippo of Miami Lakes and Gary
Boros of Fort Lauderdale were one shot
back at 280.
Scott Dunlap of Sarasota and Mark Bucek of Winter Park
shared low amateur honors, each shooting
a 70 in the final round to end up at
283.
"It's always good to be able to hit the ball a long
way" said Terry, who was one of the
longest hitters in the tournament. "It
turns par-72 courses into par-68s."
Last year, Terry led the tournament by one stroke after
three rounds only to shoot a 75 on the
final day and tie for third.
"I think that helped me this year," Terry said.
"I was a little overconfident last year
and thought I had it won. This year, I
just kept trying."
