Birkle Sets Records at East Side Charity Classic
Eric Birkle shot a 7 under par 64 Sunday at the Sylvan Glen edition of the East Side Charity Classic. The tournament rotates between Sylvan Glen and Sancutary Lake and Birkle’s score sets both a course and tournament record. #1 ranked Corey McCue finished second with a 4 under par score that also topped the course record. Chuck Withey finished 3rd at 2 under par and Rich Dunmore took 4th at 1 under. On course prizes went to McCue, Scott Wilsey, and Barb Hoelzle. Chuck “The Closer” Withey did finish with 2 birdies and finished in the money for a remarkable 8th time in 11 starts this season. He leads the Tour money standings and now has nearly doubled the amount of 2nd place John Raymond. Birkle put together 2 eagles and 6 birdies in his round and finished with a back-nine 30 for a record setting 5th win on Tour in his 76th start. And special recognition to Corey McCue who tied an 18 year old record by hitting 15 of 18 greens in regulation. He tied Todd Stuart who managed the feat in the 2000 Western Swing at Pierce Lake. If it’s any consolation, Todd didn’t win that year either, finishing T4.
