Eric Messner is PLAYERS Champ

Rookie Eric Messner won the 2013 PLAYERS Championship on Saturday at Whispering Pines Golf Club. Making birdies on 3 of the final 4 holes, Messner locked down the tournament finishing at 5-under par 66 to establish a new scoring record at the Central division championship. Messner used an exemption from a top-4 finish at the Ladies Open to get into the tournament and then became the 7th rookie to win in 2013 and the 4th to take a grand slam title.

Chris Dunmore (34-39 – 73) finished in solo 2nd and won the 2013 Central Money Title ($65.50). Darren Hamman (35-39 – 74) and the 2012 PLAYERS champ Tom Sachs (38-36 – 74) tied for 3rd.
