Bill Gordon wins Par-54
A double-bogey at 18 made the finish close, but Bill Gordon won the 2012 Par-54 Classic with a 1-under 53 to stay ahead of Jeff Klipa by 1. Gordon’s 2nd career win was worth $20 and an exemption into the 2012 PLAYERS Championship in August. The 2nd year pro from Ann Arbor added the Par-54 title to his Carrington Classic win in his rookie year making 4 top-4’s in 22 career starts.
Klipa’s 5th top-4 of the year has the 8-time winner working his way up the money standings with $72.34 in earnings – including $39.67 on the Central circuit that has him ranked 2nd in the division.
Charlie Roy and Rich Dunmore tied for 3rd at 55 with Kelly Arnold and Old Tom Litzler sharing 5th at 56.
