Bob Bruning wins 2008 Money Title
Greg Kline followed the light at the end of the tunnel and, after some spirited debate, found victory again at the TOUR Championship. One of several players forced to finish their rounds in the dark, Kline did post an 18-hole score but some others could not. The tournament rules committee considered the issue and finally declared a 12-hole tournament to be official with Kline edging Bob Bruning by 1 stroke and Tom W Litzler by 2.
Unfortunately for the Mulligan Tour’s final major of the year, Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club delayed the start of the TOUR Championship, set for 2:00pm, by some 20 minutes. But the real damage was done by allowing a 5 1/2 hour round! The final 2 groups played several holes in Oakland county dusk.
Kline has won 3 of the 4 TOUR Championships played adding this one to his victory at Frankenmuth last year and the inaugural event at Moose Ridge in 2005. The $50 first place check gives Kline, the Tour’s leading major championship winner (7), a total of $96 for the year.
The 2nd place check of $35 secured the 2008 Money Title for Bruning. With his 11th top-4 finish of the season, including wins at the Real McCoy Classic and the Match Play Championship, Bruning took in $241.50 for the year – ranking as the 4th best season in Tour history.
