Martin is 2011 Chelsea Champ
David Martin posted a 34-33 – 67 at Pierce Lake GC to win the 2011 Chelsea Classic by 4-strokes. The perennial leader in accuracy, from the tee and with the approach, hit 9 of 13 fairways and 11 of 18 greens. Martin, a 12 year veteran from Belleville with nearly $1,400 in career earnings, needed 32 putts and converted an eagle and 4 birdies against a lone bogey to finish 5-under par for his 17th career title.
John Powell (39-32 – 71) led the Chelsea field in driving (11 fairways hit) and greens in regulation (12) as well as birdies made (6). The 2nd place finish moves the #1 ranked player on Tour to the top of the Money Standings with $53 earned in 3 starts this year. Tom Moran (36-36 – 72) fell back to 3rd place with a double-bogey on the finishing hole. Lou Acosta (36-37 – 73), Ray Collins (34-39 – 73) and Charlie Roy (37-36 – 73) shared 4th place.
