Rod ‘Tuna’ Theunissen Takes the Salsa

Brighton (Huntmore GC)

Rod Theunissen posted a 3 under 69 early and then had to wait out the field to see if anyone could catch him at the Little Diablo Salsa Western Open. No could quite do it with Charlie Roy finishing 2nd at 2 under par and Helen Puffenberger tying Eric Birkle for 3rd at 1 under par 71. Puffenberger had the low gross score of the day with a 77. Jeff Klipa won the tie-breaker to take the low putts prize at 28. Other prizes went to a pair of Brians, Lardin and Pieszchala. Closest to Pin winners included Theunissen, Roy, Pieszchala, Tom Moran, Willi Hesse, Ryan Kiekbusch, Chris Dunmore, Scott Wilsey and Mike Prieskorn. This is Tuna’s 2nd Tour win in 55 starts and a milestone 10th year that Little Diablo Salsa has sponsored this Tour event!

A record $975 was raised for English Springer Rescue of America!
