Rookie Nievierowski Singing “I’m All Right!”
John Nievierowski eagled is final hole to get to 7 under par and leap frog veteran Jan Cepiga who posted 6 under two groups earlier. Rookie John also posted a rare Albatross earlier on the ninth hole to jump start his charge. Both players got thru the back nine under par which most of the field had difficulty doing. Eric Birkle finished 3rd with a 5 under par 67 and Jeff Klipa took 4th at 4 under par 68. Nievierowski is the second rookie to win this season, posting in only his 6th start. The results threw the East Standings into chaos as Nievierowski, Cepiga, Klipa and Pasz all played their way into the East Championship and thereby knocked out Seth Erskine, Thomas Mulhern, Rich Dunmore and rookie Darren Covell. The East Championship results in 3 weeks may have a big impact on the size of the Tour Championship field as 4 players are currently tied for the last East Division spot in the TC.
