July 10, 2007 (Sutton, MA)—Records were set and goals nearly met in an impressive second day of the North American Pro Golf Tour’s Blackstone Open. Winner Kyle Gallo shot 19 under par for 54 holes totaling 197, tying the lowest three round score in the tour’s history. He also came close to his personal goal for the week.
“I just kept 20 under in mind all day, and that was what was pushing me,” he said. “Even on my last chip I was trying to make it, and that would have been 20 under, but I just tried to stick to my goal and my game.”
His focus today and all week allowed him a bogey-free tournament. “I played probably the best golf I’ve played in a long time,” he said. “I played really solid from the first hole to the 54th hole.”
Final Round of Blackstone Open Starts at 7 AM

Michael Welch shot a sizzling bogey-free eight under par 64 to take the lead after eighteen holes, but his margin was kept narrow throughout the day by close competition.
“It was just a grind out there all day, I just wanted to get done, get dinner and go to bed,” Welch said. “Tomorrow if I play like I did today maybe some of the putts will go in,” he said.

Story by Matt Byrne/NAPGT :: Photo by Kasey Hine/NAPGTSUTTON, MA, (July 8, 2007) – The first Pro-Am of the 2007 North American Pro Golf Tour season, held July 8, brought over 80 golfers to Blackstone National Golf Club for a day of fun with the pros to benefit multiple sclerosis research.
Raising over $5,000 for the University of Massachusetts Medical Center’s research center, Blackstone owner Michael Gordon said the help of his sponsors, and the North American Pro Golf Tour, was integral to the event’s success.
Both local and national corporations donated money for the event, including Polar Beverages, local John Deere distributor Schmidt Equipment, Anheuser Busch and local insurer Sullivan, Garrity and Donnelly.
Gordon, whose sister was diagnosed with MS twenty years ago, said he is committed to raising funds toward finding a cure.
“As human beings we try to do what we can when we can,” Gordon said. Over the past two decades his family has raised nearly $50,000 for the cause.
A special connection was also found in young tour professional Jared Jiminez, who played alongside Gordon for the event, and whose mother and sister also suffer from the disease.
