Ugly scores at Downing Farms
Don Morris won the 2009 Ugly Pants Open on Sunday at Downing Farms GC, his 3rd win of the year. In fact, Morris has clinched the west division money title for 2009 with 2 tournaments remaining including the WESTERN Championship. Morris has 6 top 4’s in 13 starts this year and all 3 wins were in the west (Ugly Pants, Animal House, Go Blue). He leads the Tour with $131 in prize money and could be the first rookie to win the Money Title since Rick Persichetti in 2003.
Morris shot 34-39 – 73, 2-over par on the Downing Farms layout and beat Dan Schwartz (38-36 – 74) by a stroke. Schwartz was leading the tournament after a birdie at #15 but finished with 3 straight bogies and settled for 2nd place. Rick Persichetti (38-40 – 78) finished 3rd and rookie Jim O’Connor (42-37 – 79) posted his first top-4 in his 6th start.
The scores were uglier than usual at the Ugly Pants – the field averaging 12 strokes over net par – matching the attire of the participants. Rookie Julie Gardner won the Ugly Attire award in a close vote with Jeff Klipa.
