Moran hails the victors at Leslie

July 7, 2007

Tom Moran broke through for his first victory by blistering Leslie Park’s back nine in 29 and taking the 2007 Go Blue Classic with a 7-under 65 total. Moran, in his 2nd year on Tour and making his 19th start, bogied the 2nd hole and double-bogied the 3rd but birdies at 6, 7, and 8 got him back to even par for the tournament. The birdie-fest continued on the back as Moran hit 5 of his 7 greens on the inward nine and netted 7 more birdies. He played the final 13 holes in 10-under par. The victory was worth $28 and puts Moran at 20th on the Money List and 7th on the West division money standings.

Victor McCoy, winner of this event last year at Lake Forest, finished 2 strokes back with a steady 35-32 – 67. He ranks 7th on the current Money List after earning a $21 check for 2nd place. The father and son Litzler’s completed the top-4. Young Tom (34-34 – 68) led the field with 11 greens in regulation and eagled the 10th hole to get ahead of his dad. Old Tom led the field with 11 fairways hit (tied with Bob Bruning) but finished 34-36 – 70.
