Thom Bales picks up first win
Rookie Thom Bales used 2 eagles and 3 birdies to shoot 39-35 – 74 and win the 2006 Ugly Pants Open by a stroke over 4 others. With heat and humidity playing a role at Downing Farms GC in South Lyon, scoring was elevated and Bales won the tournament with highest winning score in UPO history at 3-over par. His birdie at the 406-yard par-4 18th was the difference and avoided what would have been a very crowded 5-way playoff.
