Bruning takes Two-Stick
Bob Bruning eagled the 18th hole to force a playoff with his old neighbor – “Old Tom” Litzler at the 2006 Two-Stick Classic held at Hickory Sticks GC in Ann Arbor on August 6th. Bruning then holed a long putt on the 4th hole of the 4-hole aggregate score playoff to secure his first Tour victory.
Armed only with a 4-hybrid and a 9-iron (and a putter), Bruning worked his way around Hickory Stick’s 5,558 yard layout in 7-over 77. He hit 8 of 13 fairways (61.5%) and 6 of 18 greens (33.3%) with the limited arsenal – both stats better than his season average.
“Old Tom” Litzler finished in the top-4 for the 5th time in 2006 and ranks 3rd on the Mulligan Tour Money List with $104.50 earned. Barb Randle finished 3rd, 2-strokes back at 80. She ranks 10th on the money List after her 4th top-4 this year.
