TRYING FOR TITLE NO. 3

Photo by Mitch Lucas Blake Ladd (left) watches his drive down the fairway on No. 6 at Meadowbrook Country Club, as he competed in the 68th playing of the Meadowbrook Classic on Friday afternoon. Ladd, from Sulphur Springs, is attempting to win his third Classic in four years — he won in 2002 and last year. The tournament, long one of East Texas’ most attractive to local golfers, continued Saturday and today, with the trophy presentation likely to happen around 6 p.m. See coverage of the event, including a list of scorers (and other winners, such as the team competition) in Tuesday’s edition of the Kilgore News Herald .
