The team of Walker and Anderson cruised to a six-stroke victory Sunday in the Championship Flight at the annual Albany Labor Day Golf Tournament.

Walker and Anderson posted a two-day score of 120 to finish ahead of Channer and Everett (126) and Barton and Owens (127).

A total of 40 two-person teams competed in the scramble format.
