Miller Baber and Mike O'Keefe fired a final-round 66 Sunday and cruised to their second straight title in the third Valley Four-Ball Classic golf tournament at Hunting Hills Country Club.
Baber and O'Keefe, who shot a tournament-record 64 in Saturday's first round, finished with a record 36-hole total of 10-under 130. The Roanoke Country Club duo was 12-under before bogeying two of the final four holes.
Taking advantage of ideal conditions - soft greens and no wind - Baber and O'Keefe shattered their tournament record total of 138, set last year.
Ned Baber, Miller's father, and Mike Smith shot a final-round 66 to take second place at 133. (Scores in Scoreboard)
Brothers Chris and Chip Clemens, one shot back after a 65 on Saturday, finished third at 135.
The teams of Jack Tuttle-Danny Hopkins, Greg Caldwell-Harry Fridge and Bill Proffitt-Barry Graham tied for fourth at 137.
Fifty-two teams competed in the two-man, best-ball tournament on the 6,037-yard, par-70 course.
