Gubachy Takes Final Event in Playoff
Dan Gubachy got his first career win in the final regular season event of the year, taking a playoff over veteran Rich Dunmore. Gubachy tamed the tough back nine at Lake forest with an eagle on the 15th and birdies on 17 and 18 to post a 2-under par number. Many in the field shot low early but faded on the back nine. However Rich Dunmore managed to keep his score under par and then birdie the final hole to gain a tie with Gubachy. Gubachy took the 4-hole aggregate playoff on one of the toughest playoff venues on Tour. Dan took an early lead with 2-putt pars on the first two holes. Rich’s bid to pressure Dan with a one putt on the last hole came up 6 inches short. Defending champ Jack Craig tied for 3rd with Eric Birkle and Jim Vickey at even par. Vickey, Tim Markel, Mark Mayes, and Jason Rectenwald took the on course prizes.
