The Island chapter played it last Pro-Am for 2007 when it traveled to Rio Grande, Puerto Rico for the annual Rio Mar Pro-Am. Wet conditions lead to Island Chapter Professional George Smith and Player card holder Hector Fernandez firing matching 71's (-1). This continues the recent trend of under par scores during the Island chapter tournaments. The tie was broken by an 18 hole stableford playoff Thursday during the Liberty Pro-Am. Third place for the Rio Mar pro-am was Rafael "the Rake" Castrillo with 74, followed by a 4th place tie between Aaron West and Benny Nieves with matching 75's. Thanks go out to our sponsors for putting on a fantastic event, Don Q, Cap Cana, Longo de Puerto Rico, Van Gogh Vodka, Liberty Cablevision, Agro Servicios, Pepsi, Gatorade, and SportsGroup.
