Best of the West
Joe Robar, playing the 2013 WESTERN Championship on a defending champion’s exemption, birdied Stonebridge Golf Club’s 18th hole to shoot a 1-over 73 and beat Mike Prieskorn by 1 to win his 3rd consecutive WESTERN Championship. Robar made 6 birdies in all and nearly canceled the effects of his 4 bad holes – a triple, a double and 2 single bogies. Robar is the 7th player in Tour history to collect 4 major championships – his WESTERN trifecta adding to his 2009 Memorial win.
Prieskorn (33-41 – 74) led the tournament with 4 holes to play but took a costly triple-bogey at 15 and a double-bogey at 17 to settle for 2nd place. He also finishes 2nd on the final West division money list ($64.33) as Gail O’Brien wins the 2013 West Money Title ($65.60). Jason Rectenwald (38-37 – 75) and Jack Craig (37-38 – 75) shared 3rd place.
