Kline wins TOUR Championship, but Martin takes the Money Title and Tour’s #1 ranking
Greg Kline birdied the par-5 18th hole at the Fortress to finish at 4-over par 76 and take 1-stroke victory in the 2007 TOUR Championship. Playing partner David Martin also birdied the 18th but finished a stroke back at 77. The defending champ, Denny Ersig, also shot 77 to share 2nd place.
Kline, winner of the inaugural 2005 TOUR Championship, collected a 1st place check worth $50 and finished the ’07 season ranked 5th on the Money List ($153.00). Martin locked up his 3rd Money Title in 7 years after collecting $30 for the T-2 finish and earning $246.50 for the year. He also moved 0.67 points ahead of Kline on the Mulligan Tour World Ranking (56.93 to 56.26) despite Kline’s win. His ’05 TOUR Championship title fell off the 2-year rolling points system.
With his 6th major title, and 12th win overall, Kline moved ahead of Martin who has 5 grand slam titles among his 13 Tour victories. Martin continues to hold the career lead in earnings ($1,134.20), followed by Rick Persichetti ($894.90), Erik Meland ($894.67), and Kline ($867.00).
