Cusick, Arthur repeat GAP Four-Ball Championship

MOSELEM SPRINGS, Pa.–Ronald Cusick, Sr., and Robert Arthur of Tavistock CC fired a 5-under-par 65 Thursday to win the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s 32^nd Four-Ball Stroke Play Championship at Moselem Springs GC (par 70, 6,770 yards). It is the second time the two have captured the four-ball title.

The duo, who won the championship in 2002 at Bellewood GC, carded six 3s, going out to blister the front nine in 4-under-par 31. Two birdies and a lone bogey on No. 14, a 444-yard par 4, brought them back in 1-under 34.

RON CUSICK AND BOB ARTHUR

They birdied three of the first four holes from less than four feet to go 3-under, and Arthur knocked in a 30-footer on the 372-yard, par 4 ninth hole for the outgoing 31. Cusick birdied Nos. 11 and 16, both par 4s, from four and 16 feet, on the back. He had four birdies in all. Arthur had two.

"The course played tough," Cusick said. "That was a good golf score on this course. We made the putts when we had to." "It was fun," Arthur added with a grin.

Marlin Detweiler and his son, Brandon, 17, of Lancaster CC, took second-place honors with a 3-under-par 67. Brandon birdied the first three holes with putts from 10 feet, "one-quarter inch," and 70 feet. He added a birdie on the par 4, 464-yard No. 8 as the Detweilers equaled the winners’ front nine score of 4-under 31.

However, with bogeys on Nos. 11 and 14, both par 4s, and a birdie by Brandon on the 515-yard, par 5 No. 12, they were 1-over 36 on the back.

Paul Rogowitz of Yardley CC and P. Chet Walsh of Philadelphia Country Club, carded a 2-under 68, as did Douglas Schroer and Jay Howson, Jr., of St. Davids GC. Todd and Chris Anderson of Wilmington CC, with a 69, were the only other team to break par.
