Last week’s pro state schedule took us to Lee County for the state sponsored doubles. This is a prestigious tournament as there’s no split and the points for placing in the main event are 8-6-5-4 instead of the normal 5-4-3-2. The amateur state tournament in Sebring was also a single split.

On the pro side, Tom Putnam and Ed Leonard accomplished the impressive feat of defending their 2019 title and taking home the win again. On the women’s side a lot of the top 8 in the point standings placed well, moving them up in the rankings.
