Miller advanced to the finals after defeating Ted Kaperak in the semi-finals, Jerry Jackson in the quarterfinals, and Joe Milligan in the first round. Carter bested Steve Paquin in the semi finals, Ernie Adams in the quarterfinals and Jerry McMullen in the first round.

Beginning the second match of the day, Miller and Carter remained at all square until the sixth hole when Carter’s third shot found the hazard behind the green. Miller advanced to one-up on Carter with a par on the hole. Miller then quickly went to three-up when Carter’s putter failed to convert the needed pars.

Carter gained one back to turn at two-down when his third shot into the par five #9 stuck at less than six inches from the hole. Miller missed his five-footer for birdie and gave the hole to Carter.

On the tenth hole carter caught a flyer over the green and faced a nearly impossible chip from a downhill lie to a downhill green. After putting once he gave the hole back to Miller. The eleventh hole found Miller in trouble off the tee with no shot at the pin. After it took him three to get on the green, Carter was able to two-putt for par and the win. That was the last hole Miller was to lose.

Halves on #12, #13, #14 and #15 found the match with Miller still two-up with three holes to play. After Miller smartly played his second shot with an iron to lay up short of the bunkers guarding a blind green, Carter played a wood from the left rough to go for the par five in two. His shot landed to the right of the green, leaving him a shot past a tree and over a bunker. Miller stuck his third shot to less than eight inches and was able to make birdie after Carter missed his first putt. The birdie put Miller in the clubhouse winning the match 3 & 2 over Carter.
