Twenty players had high hopes at the start of Thursday’s “Double Down” event at Aurora Country Club, where the event’s entry fee is doubled for the night to $60 per man.
But only four players left with smiles on their faces: three big skins winners and one huge pin shot winner.
I want to encourage everyone to help us finish The Medalist Tour’s season strong!
We still have five events remaining on our schedule, including our Tour Championship plus a brand new event that we are announcing today.
Three teams finished tied at the top at 4-under par 32 in the scramble format on the back nine at Chippewa on Monday, as the lingering effects of the golfing grind that is the Chippewa Championship were still evident. But no surprise, season-long money leader Mike Kracker and his partner Dr. Jeff Mallette were in the mix.
As the rest of the field found Lake Forest Country Club’s tight fairways and fast greens extremely challenging, Vaughn Snyder had no problem: he was 7-under par as he teed off at the par-5 17th, and even a double-bogey 7 there couldn’t ruin his day. He parred the last hole and finished with a 5-under 67, beating runner-up David Ludlow by 8 shots.
Eddie Neer wasted no time making birdies, pin shots and skins on Thursday night at the Quail Hollow Devlin Course to extend his lead to over $500 in the race for the 2010 Thompson Cup.
Neer birdied the par-4 10th hole to capture the first skin of the night. He then stuck it close on the following hole, the short par-3 11th, to earn the pin shot there, making his haul for the evening $178.20.
