Dave Randall beats Randall Reher in a playoff for Crazy Brit title
Dave Randall, a 4th year veteran from Northville, earned his 3rd title in 31 career starts on Tour by winning the 2009 Crazy Brit in a playoff on Saturday. He needed overtime to overtake rookie Randall Reher after both collected 42 points in the British Stableford scoring format of the Crazy Brit. Randall (first name Dave) 3-putted the first playoff hole while Randall (last name Reher) 2-putted for the lead in the 4-hole aggregate score playoff. But Reher 3-putted the next 2 holes to give up the lead and when Randall made his 3rd consecutive 2-putt on the 4th hole the victory was secured.
Randall scored points on every hole and made 8 birdies, including a stretch of 4 in a row starting at #10, to total 42 points. Reher started with an eagle on the first hole and then added 8 birdies of his own, also scoring points on every hole, to get to 42 points – a record score in this tournament. Randall’s first place check of $32 was his first prize money earned in 2009 and he debuts at 18th on the Money List (4th on the Central money list). Reher, the rookie from Troy, finished in the money for the first time collecting a check for $24 and is 25th on the money standings (7th on the Central).
Bob Bruning (20-21 – 41 points) also had an eagle and 8 birdies on the Whispering Willows course in Livonia but missed joining the playoff by 1 point. Rick Persichetti (21-19 – 40), Dan Schwartz (16-24 – 40) and Larry Kwiatkowski (20-20 – 40) shared 4th place.
