This is the 1997 Players Challenger Results. It is only challengers and not ATP Tour results. If you would like to view this file online it is available at http://www.neiu.edu/~jskoo/steve/97chres.txt . A special thanks to Jelle Kok whose C programming skills were able to reorganize his results file into something I could read into MS Access and work with.
