Klipa wins Western Swing
Jeff Klipa survived a wild Western Swing on Saturday at Huron Meadows Metropark. A 6-stroke lead nearly vanished in the closing holes as Klipa (38-39 – 77) finished 4-over on the last 3 holes while Dave Randall birdied the 18th to pull within one. A 5-year Tour veteran, Klipa’s 6th career Tour win was his 5th victory in his last 15 starts. The 2008 Western Swing title was worth $36 in prize money ranking Klipa 2nd on the Money Standings.
Randall (39-39 – 78) is the leading money winner in the early season after his 2nd top-4 finish in as many weeks. After placing 3rd at the Tin Cup, Randall’s 2nd place finish at the Western Swing brought in a $27 check giving him $43 in earnings for the season.
DeVonne Mowry made her 2008 debut with a top-4 finish despite missing the first hole. Mowry took the max gross score (quadruple bogey) on #1 but rallied to close with a 41-38 – 79 to win $18. John Hawkinson (39-41 – 80) earned $9 for 4th place.
