The first round of the 17th Annual Riggs Open Golf Tournament was played at Hollydale Golf Club. The Riggs Open committee wanted a bit of nostalgia involved in the special "Millenium" 2000 Open - so the old favorite - Hollydale - was selected as the site for Saturday's round. The field was by far the largest ever in a Riggs Open at 39 players. The number of volunteers was also the largest ever with special contributions from Kristina Riggs, Karen Riggs, Bob Riggs, Dan Bradley, Dar Borsch, Barb Smith, Sara Hirtzinger , Michelle Hummel , and Cindy Frerk. A large group photo was taken, and everyone was in great spirits as the first of 10groups began teeing off. John Bevans and Sean Sinsabaugh caught fire on the front nine to take the early lead. Bevans shot a 38, while Sinsabaugh went out in 39. Both players played well on the back nine also, and finished the day with scores of 73. They ended up tied for the first round lead at 11 under their handicaps. Bevans's highlight was that he set a new tournament record with 6 birdies. Sinsabaugh shot a 1 under par 34 on the back. Kevin Johnson shot an 81, which put him just one stroke back at 10 under. Jeremy Smith (89), Mike Flom (78), and Jim Taylor (83) also had solid starts to the Millennium 2000 Riggs Open.

The Final Round was played at the blustery "British-Open" type conditions of Heritage Links Golf Club. Wind gusts were the story for most of the day, which drove scores very high. Kevin Johnson was not fazed by the wind, and went out in 45 (including a birdie at the tough 9th hole). Sean Sinsabaugh closely pursued Kevin in search of his first Rig Open, but "Johner" held off Sean with a par on the final hole for the victory! Kevin finished with an 89 (which was 2 under his handicap for the day), and ended up at 12 under for the tourney. Sean finished alone in 2nd just two shots back at 10 under. John Bevans finished alone in 3rd at 4 under. Tony Weinzetl (- 3) & Dan Olson (-2) rounded out the top 5.
