Lardin Survives Rain and Snakes at Animal House
Brian Lardin finished atop an ever-changing leader-board at the end of a sometimes rainy, mostly windy day at the Animal House Classic. He birdied the final 3 holes to shoot 5 under par and overtake Tim Markel who finished at 3 under par. Chuck Withey was third at 2 under par and Jeff Klipa took fourth at 1 under par. Lardin’s strong finish overcame being bitten by 7 zoo animals on the day including 4 snakes (sssssss). Helen Puffenberger and Brian Pieszchala took the on course prizes. The win is Brian’s 3rd in 28 Tour starts, moving him to #2 in the World Rankings.
The low zoo ratios went to Kevin Gregoire, Chris Cooley, Puffenberger and Markel. In the exciting gift card putt off, Gregoire took the early lead after two holes, but Cooley sunk an ace on the third to tie for the lead. That set up a climatic downhill ace by Gregoire to take the zoo keeper title.
