Records Fall at Harbour Pointe Open
Canton (Pheasant Run)
On Sunday Mike Prieskorn proved no nine on the Pheasant Run course was safe as he went out on the South Course in 5 under par and put to rest any hopes of a Day 2 challenge. He finished in a modest 2 under par on his final nine to shatter the event record at 17 under par 127 for the two rounds. The previous best was 9 under par by Thom Bales, Tom Moran and Brian Lardin. Mike’s Saturday 62 is the lowest round in HPO history or any major in the modern era by 4 shots. His 20 shot margin of victory also sets a Tour record by a wide margin. Chuck Withey and David Hansen tied for 2nd at 3 over par 147. Corey McCue shot even par on day 2 to move up 9 spots and tie Rookie Mike Hutchens and John Raymond for 4th place. Withey moved to 3rd on the all-time HPO money list and John Raymond moved up to 4th. The event also marked the 50th Tour start for Rod ‘Tuna’ Theunissen and the 300th Tour start for Greg Kline. The record performance for Prieskorn is his 6th Major win on Tour to tie him for 3rd all-time with Kelly Arnold, David Martin and Jeff Klipa. It is Mike’s 21st career win in 221 starts.
