Martin captures Western Swing
The Mulligan Tour’s career money winner, David Martin is off to a flying start in his 8th year on Tour. Following a 2nd at the Tin Cup and a T-3 at the Sweet Sixteen, Martin won the Western Swing on May 19th at Reddeman Farms Golf Club. He is the early money leader on tour with $70.50 earned from his 3 top-4 finishes. Martin shot 36-37 – 73 to finish at 1-over par and 1-stroke ahead of Greg Kline.
The Western Swing victory is his 12th career title and pushed his career earnings to $958.20. He has recorded 50 top-4’s in 87 starts. He could become the Tour’s fist “thousand dollar man” sometime this summer and should contend for the money title again. He won the money title in his 2001 and 2002.
Kline (33-41 – 74) was the front nine leader, but bogeys on 4 of his last 5 holes undid his bid to defend the Western Swing title. He remains the only 2-time winner in this event (2003, 2006). The reigning PLAYERS Champ, Kelly Arnold finished 3rd (38-37 – 75) in his second start in ’07. DeVonne Mowry (38-39 – 77), Tom Hoelzle (40-37 – 77), and Barb Randle (37-40 – 77) shared 4th place.
Martin and Mowry led the field with 10 fairways hit and Kelly Arnold hit 9 greens.
