In the second round, the pair fired a 65 to secure the title by one stroke over Rick Powers and Michael Sanderson. Powers, of Lutz, and Sanderson, from Homosassa, also shot 66 in the first round as well as the second round to move ahead for sole possession of second place with a 132 total. First round leaders, Matt Jozwiak, of Wesley Chapel, and Tim Hume, of Tampa, placed third after firing a 62 in the first round. Jozwiak and Hume then posted a 71 to fall to third place. The 2005 Four-Ball Champions, Steve Carter, of St. Augustine, and Andy Purnell, from Jacksonville, shared fourth place with Steve Albright, of Ocala, and Brent Dorman, from Ocala, each team recording a 134 total.
