Dennis Ersig beats the Tour’s best at Inkster Valley
In a war of attrition, 2nd year pro Dennis Ersig carded 5 net birdies to offset some of the bogies and double bogies that were so plenty at Inkster Valley Golf Club. Ersig finished at 5-over par 77 to win the 2006 TOUR Championship by a stroke over David Martin.
The elite field of 10 players took on the longest course layout in Tour history as Inkster Valley played to 6,709 yards. The average net score among the 10 was 83.9 strokes.
Ersig finished his sophomore season with 8 top-4’s in 12 starts and pocketed $130.20 in prize money ranking 5th on the final 2006 Money List. Captain Greg Kline is hoping that Ersig continues to play well in October as Team Central prepares to defend the Commissioner’s Cup at the Legacy.
