Barb Hoelzle wins Cherry Creek Classic by 8 shots
Barb Hoelzle found redemption at Cherry Creek in 2012. One year after a playoff loss to Erik Meland at the inaugural Cherry Creek, Hoelzle took playoff out of the equation by shooting a 5-under par 67 for an 8-stroke win over Scott Fuller. Hoelzle has 7 wins among 28 top-4’s in 116 career starts. Her career earnings of $544.27 rank 13th all-time on Tour and tops among lady members.
Fuller, the rookie from Redford, netted 6 birdies and an eagle to shot a 32-43 – 75 and record his first top-4 finish. A bad stretch from 10 to 13 (9-over par) kept Fuller from challenging Hoelzle for the win.
Todd Weakley (36-41 – 77) also captured his first career top-4 gutting out an even par finish on his final 5 holes after twisting an ankle on the 13th green. The $16 3rd place check lands him at #7 on the East Money List. Erik Meland (39-40 – 79) came up short in his Cherry Creek title defense but added another top-4 finish that has him 5th on the money list.
