The wet weather took away the drama in the Ed Lewis Memorial Day Tournament at Northwood Country Club as rain washed out the final round of the tournament.
After shooting a 58 on Sunday, Scott Morgan and Judge Little moved into first place and took the win in the championship flight without ever swinging a club on Monday.
The pair's 17-under par 125 in the first 36 holes of competition helped them pick up the championship of the tournament.
The rain also prevented the competitors from competing in the most difficult format of the tournament. On Monday, partners would have alternated shots during the round to decide the champions.
First-round leaders David Ray and Alex Weddington finished tied for second with Ed Brown and Chuck Gordon. The two teams finished with a 126 over the first two rounds to take second place.
Joel and Steve Nelson rounded out the top four in the championship flight with a 129.
In the first flight, Jason Anders and Robby Whitehead finished with a 132 to take first. Reid Davis and Steve Stewart took second place with a 133 and George Ranager and Walter Rogers finished third with a 134 over the first two rounds.
Alan Hart and Johnny Love took first in the second flight with a 138. Mike Johnson and Keith McKinnion shot a 141 along with the teams of Mac Barnes-Paul Entrekin and Aaron Hale-Randy Warden.
Three teams finished on top in the third flight. Richard Armstrong and Hoot Gipson had a 146 as did Bradley Futch/Walter Whitehead and David Bailey II/William Ledbetter.
In the fourth flight, Mike Marlow and Raymond Moore teamed up to shot a 148. Tyler Akers and Chris Kaurz shot a 149 to tie for second place with Gary Futch and Russel Thompson.
Robert Lewis and H.G. Weddington took first in the fifth flight with a 155.
