Each competitor would hit six balls, with Miller leading off the round, he hit a drive of 355 yards and two balls out-of-bounds. Dempsey followed and hit his first two balls out-of-bounds. His third attempt sailed to the 366-yard marker. With the pressure on, Miller kaboomed his next drive 394 yards and Dempsey was not able to keep his shots inside the grid. Miller claimed his first Senior Division WLDC crown and a $35,000 check. Frank used the SK FIBER Lite Revolution shaft and a Cobra Head to hit the winning drive 394 yards. The Lite Revolution is a lightweight, low to mid torque shaft designed with a reinforced tip section that is made to endure aggressive swing speeds.
