Lou Acosta defends Strokes on a Rope at Huntmore
Lou Acosta earned the red ribbon for a 2nd win at the Strokes on a Rope tournament. He and David Martin shot 5-over 77’s at Huntmore GC on Saturday and Acosta earned the playoff win thanks to a 1-putt on the 2nd hole of the 4-hole playoff. First time winners of the SoaR get a white ribbon attached to the trophy. Second time wins get red ribbons and 3rd time wins get blue ribbons.
Acosta hit 9 of 14 fairways and 9 of 18 greens in regulation while making 31 strokes with the putter. He added $36 to his season earnings and now ranks 5th on the West Money list ($41.00) and 9th overall ($59.00).
David Martin led the field in greens in regulation with 12. Martin has had the low score at each SoaR played at Huntmore GC – earning his red ribbon in 2007 and losing a playoff in 2008. He earned his white ribbon for winning the SoaR at Lake Forest in 2005.
Mike Prieskorn took 3rd place with a 78 and Jon Heikkinen made the top-4 with an 81.
