Sanford, NC - Kevin Rodriguez and Rob Slade posted 74's to share the lead after Day 1.  The highlight of the day happened on Hole #8.  Aaron Babson made a hole-in-one on the 178 yard Par 3.  The ace was his second at Tobacco Road and his 4th overall.

The fireworks continued on Sunday as Kevin and Rob spent most of the under par.  A double bogey on the Par 3 14th hole gave Kevin just enough breathing room to coast it in, but Kevin returned the favor with a double bogey of his own on the Par 4 16th hole.  With his lead down to two, Kevin could no longer afford simply thinking about the record setting pace he was on and had to focus on staying ahead of Rob (the Bogey Cup Tour's #1 Ranked Golfer).  Both Kevin and Rob pared in to cap of a spectacular Tournament and Final Round.  The win is Kevin's first TOC Title and his 16th Career Win on the Bogey Cup Tour.  On his way to winning the tournament, Kevin shattered the previous TOC Scoring Record, of 150 by Wayne Moore in 2007, with a two over par 2-day total of 144 (that included 1-under par 70 on Sunday).

There was an early buzz at the tournament due to the decision to play Tobacco Road from the tips.  While the reviews were mixed, the level a play more than stepped up to accept the challenge for the season's first Major.  The fields average score was 81.4 (compared to 80.7 last year) and the cut was 81 (compared to 80 last year).  Next to the record setting score, the only other notable change was the number of rounds in the 70s.  Last year's the field posted 12 rounds in the 70s while this year's the field posted only posted 9 rounds in the 70s.
