Dennis Ersig grabs the gopher

Dennis Ersig won the 2006 Anchor Conveyor Caddyshack Classic at the Links at Lake Erie with a record setting performance. A personal best gross 79 netted a 10-under 62 and a 4-stroke win over former Caddyshack champs Chris Drake (’05) and Erik Meland (’99).

Ersig birdied 7 of the first 9 holes going out in 29. He added an eagle at 11 and 2 more birdies at 16 and 17 to tie the low net score in 2006. The win was his 2nd official victory on Tour, after the 2005 Central Skins Game, but the first in a full field event.

Top-4 finishers at the 2006 Caddyshack Classic
1 62 (-10) Dennis Ersig $32
T2 66 (-6) Erik Meland $22.50
T2 66 (-6) Chris Drake $22.50

It’s Deja Vu all over again!

Greg Kline wins 3rd consecutive Match Play Championship at the Links at Whitmore Lake

Greg Kline continues to reign supreme in the match play format. He ran his winning streak up to 10 straight matches in claiming his 3rd Match Play title. The #1 ranked player on the Mulligan Tour had a first round bye but then took care of Thom Bales (2&1), David Martin (6&4), and Dan Schwartz (3&2) to secure his 5th major title.

Kline has all but wrapped up the 2006 Money Title. The $60 first place check pushed his season earnings to $256.70. He will break the record for money won in a season if he can claim another $16 in prize money in his last 3 tournaments – the Caddyshack Classic, the PLAYERS Championship, and the TOUR Championship.
