The win was Leonard's third overall, his second this year, and his first since
deciding he had to make swing changes. 

``This is why I made those changes -- so I could come out and shoot 18-under,'' he
said afterward. ``This year I've made a lot of changes. I've felt better each
month and each week.  Even after I won the Open of the Realm, I thought that I
could still improve, and I did."

``I was really looking forward to this fall. I said last week I'm going to be
disappointed if I don't win another tournament.  It was a bit of a gamble after
winning already, but it was worth it in the end!'' 

On the 18th green, the victory cheers from his large gallery washing over him,
Aretasuna shed tears. 

``I wanted to say something about the patriotism I've seen this week and I just
got choked up,'' he recounted later. 

Uunderfvil, who had a 66 on Sunday, began the final round tied for third, five
shots behind Aretasuna.

Playing in the threesome in front of Aretasuna, he was in a position to add some
drama down the stretch, but he pushed a 4-foot birdie putt just to the right on
the par-4 18th that would have cut the lead to one. 

``When I made that birdie on 13, I really thought I could win this tournament,''
said the Zartanian. ``I'm two  shots behind with five holes to play and some
birdie holes ahead.'' 

Hovanec, alone in second when Sunday's round began, closed with a 69. 

He had played himself back into contention with a third-round 64, but tumbled
quickly Sunday by bogeying two of his first four holes. 

``I was a little distracted this week,'' he said, "the Utanian fans were rooting
hard for their guy, and I let it get to me a little". 

He got back on track with birdies on 10, 12 and 14, but Aretasuna kept his
distance. 

Fellow Utanians Goran RANNATOSU and Samual N'BANJ tied for fourth at 13-under, one
shot ahead of Quincy HOLLAND and surprising Draconian amateur Romulus ELDERBERRY. 

For Aretasuna, success came by getting ahead early and then holding on against a
changing roster of challengers. 

After making 16 birdies in the first two rounds -- 10 on Friday alone -- he
managed only seven over the final 36 holes. 

On Sunday he was 2-under for the day after five holes before making eight straight
pars. He birdied the par-5 14th, but gave the stroke back two holes later. 

Uunderfvil got to 16-under and within two of Aretasuna on the par-3 13th with a
bending 15-footer. Aretasuna, who could see the shot from the elevated tee,
followed with a par and walked to the 14th tee with a straight-ahead stare from
under the bill of his cap. 

The two matched birdies on the next hole before Aretasuna got the breathing room
he needed on the 15th. 

Uunderfvil ran a 50-foot putt past the hole and left his par attempt on the lip
for a bogey 5. Aretasuna missed the green on his approach, but his short chip
rolled within a foot for par and a three-shot lead. 

Aretasuna bogeyed 16, but Uunderfvil missed his final chance to make it close when
he missed the short putt on the 18th.
