48-Foot Chip
Turning Point
By KEN ESTES
Reporter-News Sports Writer
BRECKENRIDGE — Rotund Billy Wiggs from Den- ‘
ton chipped in a 48-foot birdie on the 11th hole to stall
a late comeback drive by Abilene’s Johnny South, then
went on to post a 4 and 3 victory in the finals of the
Breckenridge Invitation golf tournament Tuesday.
The victory by Wiggs supplied the climax to a full
day of golf at the 36-36-72 layout of Breckenridge
Country Club, and Wiggs and South had posted early
morning semifinal victories to gain the finals
