January 11, 2022September 18, 2009 by John Niedzialek

Steve Blackburn Jr. and Mike Angie continue their back-and-forth battle for the Greater Cleveland Skins Game’s Thompson Cup, and they are pulling away from the pack.

Blackburn Jr. captured two skins at Wicked Woods on Thursday with birdies on the par-4 10th hole and a long-putt deuce on the par-3 14th hole.

But Angie responded with a chip-in birdie on the 11th hole and a pin shot on the 15th hole. So Blackburn Jr. closed the gap, but Angie is still the leader — but by a mere $129 with just four weeks to go in the season.

September 7, 2009 by John Niedzialek

In a dramatic sudden death playoff, Pat Tyrrell of Sagamore Hills won the 2009 Greater Cleveland Shoot-Out Championship.

On a wet Labor Day Monday at Chardon Lakes Golf Course, Tyrrell and Steve Blackburn Jr. of Willowick each posted a score of 75 from the black tees in the stroke play event run every season for players of the Greater Cleveland Skins Game.

Coming in, Blackburn Jr. appeared to be the man to beat, since he is a past Shoot-Out winner and just won the Briardale Greens club championship the day before with 67-66. But Tyrrell noted that “he had the putter going well” coming into the day, and in the end he backed it up with critical putts to take the title.

Mike Angie did not waste any time Thursday at Powderhorn, making birdie at the difficult 430-yard par-4 1st hole to capture half the skins pot.

Angie’s out-of-the-gate skin of $138.00 takes him over the magic $1,000 mark for the season and extends his lead on Steve Blackburn Jr. and the rest of the pack. Angie is tied at the top for the most skins and the most pin shots won on the season.
