Incoming Kentucky freshman Dan Woltman and his East team fell by a final score of 30.5-19.5 to the West in the 2005 Canon Cup in Alpharetta, Ga. The event was played at the Capital City Club over a three-day span.
Woltman won his first match by a score of 2 and 1 on the opening day of play when he was teamed with Nicholas Smith. The duo defeated Jamie Lovemark and Philip Francis in that match. Woltman halved each of his next two matches before falling 2 and 1 to Kyle Stanley on the final day of play to finish with a 1-1-2 record for the event.
Trailing the West by seven points, the East hoped to make up ground early in Thursday?s singles matches. Their chances began to dim after the West won four of the first five points with no intention of stopping.
The decisive point of the tournament was earned when Roberto Galletti, Jr., of Clayton, Calif., defeated David Yujin Chung of Fayetteville, N.C., 3 and 2.
