Lord of the Links
Charlie Roy seemed at home at the Links at Lake Erie on Saturday – and the gopher trophy will spend another year at the Roy home as a result. Roy went 6-under par on a stretch of 5 holes (#2 – #6) to complete the defense of his 2008 Caddyshack Classic title and become the first multiple winner in the event’s 11 year history.
Hitting 8 of 14 fairways and 8 greens in regulation, Roy used 27 putts to finish at 5-under 67 and a 2-stroke win. A 2nd year pro out of Livonia, Roy has only 2 top-4 finishes in 17 career starts but both are victories at the Caddyshack. The win was worth $36 and an invitation into next weeks WESTERN Championship.
The Tour’s leading money winner added to his lead. Don Morris (33-36 – 69) tied Karl Carter for 2nd place earning himself a $22.50 paycheck. Morris now leads the race for the 2009 Money Title with $153.50 in prize money. Carter recorded his first top-4 finish in only his 5th start on Tour. The rookie had 2 eagles and 5 birdies to shoot 32-37 – 69. John Powell (34-36 – 70) finished 4th and the $9 paycheck keeps him within striking distance ($93.25) of Morris for the Money Title.
