Prieskorn Back on Top at Go Blue
Mike Prieskorn lost the #1 World Ranking for about 22 hours over the weekend but quickly grabbed it back with a 1 shot nail-biter victory at the Go Blue Classic. Mike posted 4 under par early and then endured a swirl of leaderboard activity in one of the more drawn out waits in memory. The final five groups of the day all had a contender for the title. First yesterday’s winner John Lennane eagled the 17th but could only par 18 to fall one short and finish T-2 at 3 under par. Then rookie Reg Wyse eagled 16 and came to 18 with a chance but couldn’t convert and finished T-2. Then Don Schofield went birdie – eagle on 16 and 17 but couldn’t get one more birdie and finished T-4 at 2 under par. Next came Chris Cooley who had turned in 29 but literally limped home and played the final hole nearly as wide as it was long and settled for a final par and T-4. Last came rookie Brian Pieszchala who needed a final birdie to force a playoff but couldn’t make it happen. Finally Prieskorn could smile and the assembled gallery could cheer the victor. Seth Erskine, Jeff Pasz, and defending champ Dan Gubachy all finished T-4 also. The win is Mike’s 14th in 144 Tour starts. Cooley, Lennane, David Martin, and Rich Dunmore collected the on course prizes.
