The first-place three-man team was (left to right) Phillip Thiessen, Anthony Thiessen and Scott O?Hare. ?We had 18 teams (54 golfers) play in the tournament,? she said. ?Dona?tions and funding opportunities are down this year due to the economy, and anyone who would like to give money or learn more about how to become a Big Brother or Big Sister may call me at 620-382-3800.?
