Don Morris – 2011 Animal House Classic champ

Don Morris won the Animal House Classic for the 2nd time in 3 years at Salem Hills GC on Saturday. He posted a 37-33 – 70 to win the 2011 event by 3 strokes over Kelly Arnold and John Powell. The aggregate 70 has been the same winning score in the AHC for 5 of the last 6 years – the only exception being Morris’ 5-over 77 in wet & windy conditions in 2009.

The victory is Morris’ 2nd of the year, after winning the Pine View Classic in April. He is 3rd on the overall Money Standings but leads the West Division with $68 from the 2 wins. Morris has 5 career titles and $282 in career earnings.

Arnold (36-37 – 73) finished in the top-4 for the 2nd time and is 6th on the Money List. The $22.50 for T-2 has Powell (35-38 – 73) still leading the Tour in earnings with $75.50 after his 4th top-4 of the season. Thom Bales, Joe Robar and Tom Sachs tied for 4th.

Sachs prevailed in the Zoo putt-off for the 4 players with the lowest Zoo ratios. He outlasted Leo Bechard on the 3rd extra hole after Bales and Morris bowed out after 4 holes.
