Cooley Pulls a Triple at the Casino
Christopher Cooley scored a 3-peat at the Casino Classic, shooting a 3 under par 68 for a 2 shot win over his perennial Memorial partner Chuck Withey. Helen Puffenburger finished 3rd at even par 71 and Don Ward rolled up his first top 4 finish of year in 4th with a 1 over par 72. Cooley’s feat marks only the 5th time in Tour history that a player has won an official event 3 times in a row. The most recent being in the 2011-13 seasons when Samantha Kellstrom won the Ladies Open and Joe Robar won the Western Championship. Prior to that Greg Kline won the Match Play in the mid 2000’s Todd Stuart and Mary Taylor won 3 in a row in the Tour’s first 3 years. Chris also takes the all-time money lead at the Casino Classic (time to escort him to the door). The win is his 15th in 167 Tour starts which places him 7th on the Tour Win list.
