The Flight C winner (100-299) wasTony Stack, ofPhoenix, with 23.30 MPs.   At 20, Tony is the youngest player to win that award.  “I started playing bridge in Oct., 2001 and won my first masterpoint in April, 2002,” boasts a proud Tony who frequents bothScottsdale clubs.  He is the son of former Unit 354 Treasurer Tom Stack and his older brother and attorney, Tom Jr., is a former Unit 354 caddy who also plays in club games.
