The Westrian had been on record as wanting to badly win "a big one", and he
finally had his week.  "To win it this way, it's just unbelievable.  And this also
makes me a lock for the Golden Chalice.  Today, I am a very happy bloke!"

Indeed, the $1,000,000 Christiana Crowns first prize securely qualified Straswell
for the Realm's Golden Chalice team.  Von Chicken's $500,000 crowns second place
had the same effect for him.  They will both be playing in the Chalice matches.

"I thought we were going to a play-off, and I was watching on the practice range
monitor, almost picking up my clubs to head to the play-off tee, when Oliver sank
that bomb of a putt!  I was stunned, but he deserves to win with heroics like
that.  I just hope he'll keep that up during the Chalice" quipped Von Chicken.  He
shot 64 in the final round and for a long time held the lead, until it was taken
away from him on the last hole by Straswell.  Westria had a great day, with their
top player Matthias ROTHIES, Jr. finishing fourth, right behind Pancho McFEELEY,
who seemed to find some form this week, shooting in the sixties every round.

Scoring at the Terragolf Country Club was extremely low, Straswell's winning total
of -22 doubling Evan BURCHARD's previous record of -11 from last year, set at the
Norbay Vistas Golf Club, in Karoktin, Eastern Zartania, which prompted several
players and indsiders to remark that they thought the course was set up too easy. 
"For a tourney of this stature, I would think that a little sterner test would be
appropriate" concurred Rothies.  Straswell, naturally, had few complaints: "Look,
the best player in the world are here.  The fans come to see exciting golf, not
guys fighting for par.  The greens were soft from all the rain last week, so they
were holding very well.  I don't think that is wrong."

Also great news for Pancho McFeeley and John CATES, who played their way on to the
International Chalice Team with their performances in this tournament.
