Mike Prieskorn wins Carrington for 4th victory of the year
Trying to keep pace with his Memorial Tournament partner, Mike Prieskorn won the 2010 Carrington Classic on Saturday – his 4th victory of the year, 1 shy of the 5 titles Thom Bales has colleted this season. Prieskorn won the Tin Cup in early May before he and Bales won the Green Towels at Gateway at the end of May. Prieskorn also won the Two-Stick Classic last month.
Shooting a personal best gross 77, Prieskorn netted a 4-under par 68 for a 3-stroke win over Don Morris. Prieskorn led the field in putting (27) and carded 7 birdies and an eagle.
Morris (36-35 – 71) was the only other player to finish in red numbers. After winning 3 times in his 2009 rookie season, Morris has only 2 top-4’s in 2010 but is qualified for the PLAYERS Championship and the TOUR Championship.
John Powell and Thom Bales led the five-some of even par shooters. Bales (37-35) continues to lead the Tour in prize money with $208.60. Powell is the only player to be ranked in the top-6 in driving accuracy, greens in regulation, putting and net scoring. He is currently 6th on the Money List with $90.90. Tim Markel (33-39), Eric Morris (35-37) and Rich Dunmore (37-35) also finished at even par 72.
