Clark, who took staff honors as a rookie in 2003, eased across the finish line nine games in front of runners-up Pete Warner, a six-time winner, and Larry Mahoney, who closed out the season at 155-45 (.775).

Dave Barber wound up fourth at 154-46 (.770) and John Holyoke (152-48, .760) was fifth. Jessica Bloch, Joe McLaughlin and Andrew Neff finished in a three-way tie for sixth at 147-53 (.735), and Jim Goodness (138-62, .690) was ninth.
