Lou Acosta wins Ugly Pants Open
Lou Acosta shot a 36-36 – 72 at Downing Farms on the first day of September to win the rescheduled 2012 Ugly Pants Open by 1-stroke over Ray Collins. Acosta led the field in putting (29 putts) thanks to sinking 2 putts from the fringe (0-putt) and the birdie at the 18th was the difference. The win is Acosta’s 4th in 46 career starts and gets Acosta into the top-10 on the 2012 West money standings and a ticket into the TOUR Championship.
Collins (38-35 – 73) posted his 3rd top-4 of the year but needed to win in order to qualify for the TOUR Championship on September 15. Rookie Jan Boyer (34-40 – 74) was leading after 10 holes but finished in 3rd place after triple bogies at the 11th and 16th. Tom Sachs (40-35 – 75), Karl Carter (40-35 – 75) and Scott Belanger (39-36 – 75) shared 4th place.
Tom Hoelzle won the “Ugliest Attire” award – a $40 discount on 2013 membership.
