We are in the final round of play at Cowtown USA!
Round 6 ended with another victory by Mack Meller in Division A. Mack stands at 5-1 +510 going into the final round, with Josh Kopczak (4-1 +151) and Zachary Ansell (4-1 +57) right behind him.
Division B also stands with one player at 4-1. Yaacov Barak holds a positive spread of +316. Elizabeth Davis is one game back, at 4-1 +335. So things are a bit tighter than in Division A, but Yaacov controls his own destiny at this point.
Division C is even more closely contested, with Penny Stitler (5-1 +438) and Patrick Beatrez (5-1 +315) leading the rest of the field. Ralph Wivell and Cecilia Huber are both one game back, at 4-2.
Division D has the toughest fight for the top spot, with three players at 5-1. Meredith Cline (+364) is in the lead on cume, but Tina Yates (+353) is right behind her, and Gaurang Shah (+262) is in the mix as well. The rest of the field is 2 games or more back, so the place prices will be decided between these three players.
