Re: 2016 Ottawa Winter Open January 8-9-10, 2016

Glad to see this tournament is still on the books. I remember organizing and directing this event way back in 1989! If I recall correctly, that tournament was won by an American, Philip Dorsey out of Rochester who beat Dean Hergott in the final round. Those were the days, with the old Ottawa Mafia (Burgess, Bunning, Fleming).
