Raymond Wins Playoff for HPO Major Win
In what has to be termed the ‘Bear Trap’ of the Mulligan Tour, holes 15, 16, and 17 at Eagle Crest humbled many contenders on day 1 of the Harbour Pointe Open, leaving 4 players tied for the lead on Day 1 including John Raymond and Two Time HPO winner Brian Lardin, Chuck Withey and Ned Loving. On Day 2, again the final holes denied anyone from pulling away. Raymond amassed a lead, but the ‘Bear Trap’ brought him back to the field and Lardin birdied the final hole to match him at Even Par and send the event to it’s first playoff since going to the two-round format in 2010. In the playoff Raymond played steady par in the 4-hole aggregate format to survive again for the win. The win is Raymond’s 5th and 1st Major in 128 starts. He jumps 11 spots to 3rd in the World Rankings while Larding moves to 5th.
