Former Bills hit the links

Though a list of players in the championship were repeat contestants looking for a victory, it was Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams who stole the show. Williams was at the top of the leaderboard after round one, shooting two-under-par with a 70, which earned him 25 points. The following round, Williams fell to second place as Mardy Fish, a former professional tennis player, finished his second round with five-consecutive birdies to leap-frog Williams into first place with 63 points to Williams’ 52. The final round was once again Fish’s as he finished even through 18 while Williams finished the day three-over, earning himself a second-place finish with 67 points to Fish’s 76.
Williams was not the only former Buffalo Bill to play in the tournament as Doug Flutie also participated. Flutie strung together a collection of single and double bogeys to finished tied for 62nd place alongside actor Chace Crawford.
