Delayed Gratification for Johnson at Dudlee’s
Phil Johnson (33-32) finally got his 3rd Career win at the Dudlee’s Plymouth Open. The tournament had to be postponed from June due to rain. But the delay gave Johnson just enough time to heal from his dramatic 2014 injury (with the emphasis on drama) when he was struck in the shoulder by an errant shot. As seen in the photo above, Phil is still unable to lift his arm well enough to hold up his trophy and winner’s check. What a gutsy performance! Fortunately Phil had lots of friends willing to hold his trophy and check for him. No word on if he got them back. Johnson’s round included 6 birdies and an eagle and he closed with 4 birdies on the back nine. Seth Erskine (35-32) had 6 birdies, and eagle and 29 putts to place 2nd. Dave Oliver (36-33, 9 greens) and Don Morris (34-35, 1 eagle, 29 putts) tied for 3rd. Erskine, Oliver, Rick Persichetti, and Chris Japhet took the on course prizes. John Lennane won the club house prize. Little Dudlee’s tournament raised $500 for the Friends of Dearborn Animal Shelter charity.
