Mullen wins Chelsea Classic
Eric Mullen, in his 2nd year on Tour and making his 6th career start, won the 2014 Chelsea Classic last Saturday at Calderone Farms GC. Mullen carded 7 birdies and an eagle in shooting 34-38 – 72 to win by 2-strokes over Tom R Litzler, Erik Meland and Bill Gordon. Mullen’s victory continues a trend of first time winners on Tour. After a record 11 first time winners in 2013, the Tour has 2 more first timers in the first 3 events of 2014.
Litzler (35-39 – 74) was leading the tournament until a costly triple-bogey at #15. Meland (40-34 – 74) made 4 birdies on the back nine but could not overcome a slow start. Gordon (38-36 – 74) made a charge with birdies at 13 and 14 followed by an eagle at 15. A double-bogey at the home hole dropped him back into the tie for 2nd. Eric Birkle and Don Morris tied for 5th.
