Can anyone catch Bob Stringer. He had another solid performance of 740, andunless he trips on his own two feet for the last two months it doesn't looklike anybody is going to catch him.Ike, Mads Madsen, and TarHeelFan arehis closest competitors, but it appears as though Bob is going to run awaywith the yearly contest.
