Kline Sips from the Cup for the Third Time
Ypsilanti (Hickory Creek)
It was a cool morning and the wind played havoc with a bunch of contenders on the back nine. And the dreaded 17th dashed some dreams again. But Greg Kline got the last laugh. After a disaster on 17 he closed with a birdie on the 18th to finish 3 over par and get into a playoff with Ray Collins. Collins birdied 2 holes on the back nine and finished with a clutch up and down par on his final hole (15) to make the playoff. Kline outlasted Collins in the playoff 9-10. For Kline it is his 24th career Tour win in his 293rd start. Collins comes in 2nd in his 100th Tour start. A 3rd place tie went to Jeff Pasz and Eric Birkle at 5 over par. John Nievierowski took the first invitation of the year for the Skins game and Helen Puffenberger to closet to the pin on #6. For Kline this is his 3rd Tin Cup win with previous wins in 2018 and 2006. He improves his all-time money lead for both the Tin Cup event and the Tour career standings. He squared his playoff record in this event, having lost in 2011 to John Powell.
The Tin Cup was sponsored by The Mulligan Tour and charity proceeds went to
Gleaners Food Bank.
