On Wednesday, North Star Drilling team members Ron Beaty, Paul Flemmer, Ricky Hagedorn, Bernie Groshong and Wally Anderson had the low scramble score of 31. Doug Fisher had one of the long drives on No. 9 (Mike Baxter was the winner for those 54 and under) as well as the drive closest to the pin on No. 8, while Jay Deal had the long putt on No. 6, Randy Hojem took that honor on No. 3, Chadd Laws was closest to the pin on No. 5 and Dan Kier (No. 1) and Hagedorn (No. 3) had the only chip-ins for the evening.
