Lieutenant (jg) Stu Schroeder, runner-up in the All-Navy open division, finished at 288, five strokes behind the defending champion, Captain Warren Simmons, but the final round was nearly over before the championship was decided.

Schroeder, tied for ninth place after the first round, came in with a second round 69 to pull within range of the leader.

In the final round, Schroeder and Simmons battled in a head-to-head match. Schroeder started the round three strokes behind, but evened the match at the 8th bole when Simmons bunkered his second shot and three-putted.

The Navyman then finished with two double-bogies to Simmons' pars as be put his tee shot over the green on the par three 17th and knocked his second shot out of bounds on the final hole.

Teammate Gary Grob, who placed fifth in the All-Navy, finished in a tie for fourth. All-Navy champ Dave Bollman, Rudy Boyd. and Andy Mosley were far down the line.
