Kline is Grande in the West

August 29, 2010

Greg Kline has made a habit of taking Mulligan Tour major championship hardware. One week after winning the inaugural EASTERN Championship, Kline took his “A” game west, to Jackson, Michigan, and solved the Grande riddle. Hitting 10 of 14 fairways and 12 of 18 greens at the Grande Golf Club, Kline stayed away from 3-putting until the final hole and posted a 1-under par 71 for a 3-stroke win.

This win makes 9 Mulligan Tour major titles on Kline’s resume. He has won the Match Play Championship and the TOUR Championship 3 times each and the Memorial, EASTERN and WESTERN once each. He has jumped to the top of the money list ($244.77) for 2010 and is in line to win his 2nd Money Title.

Joe Robar had a double-bogey, bogey finish to fall back to 2nd place at 2-over 74. The defending champ, Rick Persichetti, was in contention until bogies at 14 and 16 and a double-bogey at 17 left him at 75. David Martin (37-39 – 76) and Thom Bales (36-40 – 76) shared 4th place.

Tour President Erik Meland recorded the Tour’s 6th hole-in-one on the 135-yard 5th hole. He finished tied for 8th at 6-over 78.
