Prieskorn delivers at Tin Cup
Mike Prieskorn, a 2nd year pro from Wayne, won the 2010 Tin Cup on Saturday. A stretch of 6 birdies in 7 holes gave Prieskorn (32-39 – 71) a lead that held up by 1-stroke over Tom R Litzler. The victory is the first for Prieskorn, and his first top-4 in 13 starts on Tour. He hit 6 of 14 fairways and 6 of 18 greens, needing 31 putts to finish 1-under par. His 7 total birdies for the round led the field.
The 12th different winner in the 12 year history of the Tin Cup, Prieskorn collected $32 for the win and is exempt from qualifying for the PLAYERS Championship at Eagle Crest GC on September 4th.
Litzler finished with an eagle on his last hole (#18) but missed forcing a playoff, or winning outright, after taking a double-bogey 5 on the par-3 17th. Litzler (35-37 – 72) led the field in putting (27) but was one of 32 players among the 37 in the field that could not safely find the green from the 17th tee. Litzler earned $24 for 2nd place.
Central division Commissioner Greg Kline (37-38 – 75) tied for 3rd place with Tim Markel (38-37 – 75), each earning $12. Barb Kaczmarek (39-37 – 76) earned $6 for 5th place and John Powell (41-37 – 78) made $4 for 6th.
