Nick
Latimer and Doug Van Nostran won titles Monday in the 36-hole
final of the 79th Northeast Ohio Amateur Invitational at
Lakewood Country Club in dissimilar fashion.
Latimer,
23, of Kent, totally dominated the regular division by 15
strokes -- the second-largest margin of victory since Bob
Shave won by 18 strokes in 1958. His final rounds of 68
and 67 tied defending champion Blake Furgerson's record
of 135 for the 36-hole final which he set last year at Fox
Meadow.
Coupled
with his earlier rounds of 2-under 70 at Lake Forest and
1-under 71 at Oberlin, the recent Kent State graduate shot
a 10-under 276 total. Furgerson, 21, and a senior at John
Carroll, shot a pair of even par 71s Monday and his 291
total tied Saumil Jhaveri, 40, of Avon Oaks Country Club
for second place. Read
