It’s in the Hole!!!
Greg Kline went low at the Links at Lake Erie to capture his first win in more than a year. Kline, the Tour’s #1 ranked player, shot a 32-31 – 63 to beat rookie Phil Abele by 2-strokes at the 2007 Anchor Conveyor Caddyshack Classic. He made 9 birdies and an eagle to record the lowest score of the year. Winner of 11 titles in 5 years, Kline’s last win on Tour had come on August 12th, 2006 at the Match Play Championship.
Abele (29-36 – 65) started red hot on a seasonably cool day, making 5 birdies and an eagle in his first 8 holes. He was 8-under thru 12 but cooled off as the temperature warmed making 3 bogies in his last 6 holes to fall out of contention. Bob Bruning shot 32-34 – 66 to finish 3rd and David Martin (35-33 – 68) birdied 4 of his last 5 holes to finish solo 4th at 4-under par. Martin continues to lead the Tour with $180.50 in earnings after his 9th top-4 finish in 11 starts this year.
Kline had 4 natural birdies on his way to shooting a personal best gross score of 73. Ironically, the central division Commissioner wins the Caddyshack in a year that the traditionally central division event was placed in the western division schedule. The Caddyshack is expected to return to the central division next year, though negotiations are under way to move the tournament to a host course closer to the title sponsors. Pheasant Run GC in Canton is receiving the heaviest consideration.
