Gordon Grinds Out Win at Animal House
Bill Gordon felt like a thorn among roses when he found himself in a playoff with Chris Cooley and Gregg Nothdurft, two of the three players who have dominated the Tour’s early season with 3 wins between them already. But Gordon ground out pars all day and continued to shoot par thru the playoff to capture a 1 shot playoff win. All three finished at 1 under par in regulation, with Gordon and Nothdurft trading pars on the 18th hole while playing in the same group, then waiting to see how Cooley finished. Chris also parred 18 to gain the playoff. John Raymond made a nice putt from the fringe on 18 to tie Rich Dunmore for 4th, which gave Rich his 50th top 4 finish on Tour in 184 starts. Chuck Withey took both on course prizes. The win is Gordon’s 6th in 110 starts and moves him to 3rd in the West Division money list behind Nothdurft and the other dominate player of the spring, Corey McCue. McCue leads the Tour overall money standings ($88) by less than $2 over Nothdurft and $4 over Cooley. All three have more than doubled the 4th place earner, Rich Dunmore. In the Zoo Animal Putt Off, Rich Dunmore came from behind to top Gordon, Cooley and Mike Geisser by 1 shot.
