Loescher makes grand exit
Preparing for relocation to New Mexico, and retirement from the Mulligan Tour, Ed and Cindy Loescher made their final event a memorable one. Cindy, the 2005 PLAYERS Champ, netted an even par 72 to win the 2006 Commercial Underwriters Harbour Pointe Open by 3-strokes. She finishes her career with 4 top-4’s in 16 starts – with 2 wins in major championships. As the 3rd lady member to win a grand slam event, after Sue Cwikla (2000 Memorial) and Sue Meland (2000 PLAYERS), she has now become the first women to register multiple majors.
Carol Koch finished 2nd after posting a 3-over par 75. Koch has had back-to-back top-4’s – finishing T2 at the Holy Grail last month. She played Majestic’s 9th thru 14th holes in 7-under par to get back to even par for the round. Defending champ Joe Castmore tied for 3rd.
