Reporting and Results of the
26th (1998) World Open and our Club Players.

Some of the area's younger players made a pretty good showing. The majority of the results reflect a "plus" score for the event, i.e. won more than half of the possible points, in this case plus is 5 points.

Keep in mind that the scores do not necessarily reflect all nine rounds.  Some people withdrew early.

You can see the entire set of results on the World Open site
