Wolter Wins Texas Shootout With Sixth-Ball Heroics

Carl Wolter came through in the clutch, launching a massive 397-yard moon ball, to claim the open division title at LDA's Texas Shootout Presented by Toyota of Lewisville.

Wolter's sixth-ball heroics produced a 397-380 match-play win over runner-up Allen McDougall.

Wolter collected $13,000 for the win. McDougall earned $8,000.

In semifinal matches, Wolter, the 2002 RE/MAX world champion, defeated Alex DeVilling, an LD rookie competing in his first event, 385-377. McDougall bested Tom Roskos, 390-OB.

Roskos posted the longest drive of the evening -- 410 yards -- in the 8-for-4 shootout that opened the evening's activities at Trophy Club Country Club, where a crowd estimated at 1,000 gathered to watch professional long drive's finest. Wolter was next in line with 409 yards.

Four of the eight competitors who survived elimination rounds at City Pointe Driving Range failed to find the grid in the shootout. Headed to the sidelines early in the evening were Jeff Gavin, Zac Adams, Jason Frey and Jamie Sadlowski.

Sadlowski, the reigning RE/MAX world champion, had led the power parade at City Pointe with 421 yards in Round 7 of the winner's bracket.

Semifinalists Roskos and DeVilling pocketed $4,500. It marked the fourth consecutive year Roskos cashed at the Texas tour event.
