Johnston IIIMERCER ISLAND, WA – After enduring a bit of a free fall of sorts, beginning with his pre-Cup food poisoning in 2005, Mr. Brian S. Johnston III got his 2008 campaign off on the right foot with a solid win at the Triple Steak Trifecta of Death at Luther Burbank Park in Mercer Island over Memorial Day weekend.

The Triple Steak events feature a triumvirate of wickets in the center of the course (forming a ‘Y’), giving players the option of choosing their direction after completing the middle wicket. Each player must complete both sides of the “fork”, but they are able to choose for themselves the order in which they do so.

Johnston battled neck and neck throughout much of the match with “Mr. Fantastic” Kevin Sutton, who was coming off a strong 2007 season and came into the match as the reigning Lakewood Croquet Club (LCC) Champion and six-time Champions Cup winner.
