Summer and fall activities include golf at two championship courses, canoeing and fishing on the Upper Androscoggin, hiking and scenic tours of the White Mountain National Forest, rockhounding for precious stones, horseback riding, walking tours of the historic village, visiting the Moses Mason House and Bethel Historical Society exhibits, antiquing and shopping the eclectic shops of Bethel’s Main Street. Events include the Maine State Triathlon, July 30; Maine Performing Arts Festival, August 9-12; Sudbury Canada Days, Aug 11-13; Harvest Fest and Chowdah Cookoff, September 16 and Fall Festival Weekend, October 7 & 8.

 

A community guide book, maps for hiking, canoeing and fishing, walking and auto tour itineraries are available at the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce online at www.bethelmaine.com or by phoning 1-800-442-5826.

 

"I was playing well on Thursday and Friday and made a lot of birdies," said Edfors. "I thought if I can make nine birdies on Thursday, I can make nine birdies on Sunday. I thought if I shot nine-under, it should be good enough."

 

Luke Donald carded a five-under 66 and tied for second place with Charl Schwartzel (67) and Andres Romero (69) at minus-11.

 

Although Romero needed to birdie the last to match Edfors and walked off with a bogey that cost him sole possession of second place, the week was not a total loss.

 

Sunday's final round was expected to be a battle between the third-round co- leaders, Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn. The pair, both Ryder Cuppers and two of the European Tour's best, struggled mightily in the final round.

 

Edfors flew out of the gate on Sunday with a birdie at the second, then four in a row from the fourth. That got him to 10-under par and put him one behind the leaders for the final pairing even took the course.

 

Edfors matched Clarke quickly. Edfors drained an eight-foot birdie putt at the 12th, then followed with a tap-in birdie at the par-five 13th. When Clarke bogeyed the fourth, Edfors was one ahead.
