Coker, who’s also a former Greenville High School and East Texas State football player, paired with Dr. Fred Blohm, Jim Stahl, Eric Westerman and Ricky Early to shoot a 15-under score of 57 for 18 holes.
They won by two strokes over the team of Dr. Greg Hulsey, Dr. Marc McDaniel, Dr. Jeff Wallace and Kevin Weable.
