Jeff Klipa makes Sparty Classic his 8th career win

Jeff Klipa carded an eagle and 7 birdies to shoot 33-35 – 68 and win the 2012 Sparty Classic by 1-stroke over Erik Meland. The win, worth $32 and an exemption into the EASTERN Championship in August, was Klipa’s 8th career title but first since 2008. Now in his 10th year on Tour, he has 33 top-4’s in 142 career starts earning $597.34, ranking 7th all-time.

Meland (37-32 – 69) also recorded an eagle and 7 birdies, but costly double-bogies at Pine Trace GC’s 8th and 17th kept him from collecting career win #20. Klaus Juska (40-32 – 72) and Eric Morris (35-37 – 72) shared 4th place. Morris also earned an invitation to the East Skins Game in September.
