ORLANDO, Fla. – Thirty-one under par was good. Just not good enough.

That’s the score posted by a five-man team from Central Oregon competing at the 2005 Buick Scramble National Championships. But the three-round total of 185 did not qualify the Bend-based team for the finals, which were staged Sunday to conclude the four-day amateur golf tournament held at six Orlando-area courses.

Lost Tracks Golf Club of Bend was led by PGA professional Bob Garza, who was joined in the 22nd annual championship by amateurs Bud Peterman, Scott Morelock, Brett Morelock and Rick Gehrke.

The Central Oregon team shot rounds of 1-over 63 on both Thursday and Friday, then dropped to 3-under 59 for Saturday’s last round of qualifying for the finals. But the cut to the low 24 scores was at 178 or lower, and the Lost Tracks squad had to settle for finishing tied for 57th place in a field of 106 teams in the gross division.

River Falls Plantation Golf Course of Duncan, S.C., won the gross division with a four-round score of 57-58-59-55-229. The net division championship went to Alhambra Golf Course of Alhambra, Calif., with a score of 56-54-55-59-224.

The only team representing Oregon among a total of 212 teams (gross and net divisions), the Lost Tracks group advanced to the national tournament by winning two levels of qualifying: a local qualifier staged at Lost Tracks, and then a Northwest sectional qualifier held at Quail Valley Golf Club in Banks.
