GALLOWAY, OH — Mark Wray fired 4 birdies, 3 bogeys, and club throwing triple bogey on Monday at Thornapple Golf Club in Galloway, OH.  He scored a career high 67 points and career low 74 strokes.

"That is playing golf," says Wray.  "You just feel like taking a few days off from work just so you can keep that feeling."

Wray played 6,800 yards and birdied down the stretch.  His birdies came on Hole 8, Hole 9, Hole 16, and Hole 18.

"I cannot believe that he just held it together," says Tom Fowble.  "Most people would have cracked.  With Mark I would have bet triple-triple to finish."

Mark Wray is a rookie joining in June 2005.  He grabs 13th place with 44.1 points per round.  "I fully expect a Top 10 finish," says Brian Flanagan.  "He just keeps getting better as the season progresses.  Thornapple is no slouch either.  He is a champion without a jacket.  Maybe he will get a few kitchen passes and show us what he's got next June."

The 2005 On Tour Championship moves into football season strong as ever.  With a field of 78 players, Jean Dore leads the pack.  In other news, the website received it's 4000th scorecard on Monday.
