Lum Tops Withey, but Withey Sets New Record
Mike Lum birdied his final hole to catch Chuck Withey, then topped him in the playoff. Lum, who started on the 15th hole, made 5 birdies across the front nine in the middle of his round and was under par on both nines to finish with a 3 under par 69. Withey had 6 bidies and an eagle and also played under par on both nines to get to the playoff. There were a host of ‘almost!’s uttered after the round as Mike Nicholas, Jeff Klipa, Jeff Pasz, and Tom Moran all finished T3, 1 shot off the lead. On course prizes went to Lum and Eric Morris. Moran had fewest putts and Withey had the low gross score. Withey took a measure of consolation in that his 2nd place money put him over the top for a new single season all-time money winning record. He stands now at $296 which is $3.30 ahead of Greg Kline’s 2006 record with at least 6 more possible dates on the schedule. Chuck has finished “in the money” in 17 events so far this year. The win is Mike Lum’s 2nd on Tour in 61 starts, his first coming in the 2015 Sweet Sixteen.
