Carter cashes in at Chelsea Classic
Karl Carter, a 2nd year pro from Dearborn, made the 2010 Chelsea Classic his first Tour win. Carter shot a 36-44 – 80 to beat PC Carlos and Joe Robar by 1-stroke. The 8-over par 80 was the highest winning score in Tour history – with the exception of the Strokes on a Rope event. Gale force winds mixed with some rain made play difficult, if not challenging, at Reddeman Farms on Saturday and the field as a whole averaged a net score over 86.
Carter managed to record 2 eagles and a birdie while making the turn in even par and a 3-stroke lead. He held on through the inward nine staying away from “blow-up” holes. The kind of blow-up holes that caught Carlos on #14 (triple bogey) and Robar on #17 (triple bogey). Robar (40-41 – 81) needed a birdie on the home hole to catch his friend Carlos (39-42 – 81) and force the tie for 2nd. Lou Acosta (43-40 – 83) notched his 2nd top-4 in 2 weeks.
