David Eger, 36, a reinstated amateur from Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, defeated Scott Mayne of Warwick, Bermuda, 2 and 1, in the final at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansa.

Three-time Mid-Amateur champion Jay Sigel of Berwyn, Pennsylvania; 1983 runner-up Randy Sonnier of The Woodlands, Texas; and John Harris of Edina, Minnesota, shared the qualifying medal at even-par 140. Sigel and Sonnier were eliminated in the second round.

Harris advanced to the third round before losing. After defeating Bill Holstead of Wichita Falls, Texas, 1 up in his opening match, Eger defeated his next three opponents without playing the 15th hole.

In the semifinals, Eger was extended to the 18th hole for the second time. He eliminated Shawn Baker of Brattleboro, Vermont, 1 up. Mayne twice won matches on the 18th green on his way to the final and, in the quarterfinal round, defeated Richard Stuntz of Lawrence, Kansas, in 23 holes.

Mayne then scored a 2-and-1 victory over Craig Steinberg of Van Nuys, California, to reach the final. Eger birdied the first hole of the final to go 1 up and was 2 up after another birdie at the third. The next three holes were halved with pars before Mayne birdied the seventh.
