Prieskorn Ties Record at Par 54
Mike Prieskorn topped his group to win a DQ treat and then topped the field with a record tying 50 at the Par 54. Mike had ‘one of those days’ when it seems you can’t miss with 10 greens hit, 5 with 1 putt or less, and numerous stress free pars. His zero putt chip in for a net ace on #17 pretty well slammed the door on 2nd place Kevin Gregoire who finished at 4 over par 58. In other news, 186 people tied for 3rd at 7 over par including Chuck Withey, Eric Birkle, Tom W Litzler, Jeff Klipa, David Martin and Scott Wilsey… and Helen Puffenberger. Ok it was only 7. Ryan Kiekbusch missed out on the Top-4 Finish party to land at 10th by 1 shot. Hey… a buck is a buck. On course prizes went to Prieskorn (see picture above), Mike Geisser, Willi Hesse, Mike Attard (see how easy it is to cash-in in this league!), and guest and recruit Mark Litzler. Notables: Birkle logged his 20th 3rd place finish on Tour, and it was too early for fireworks, but Jeff Klipa completed his 400th Tour start. Just for perspective, Mark Brooks holds the record on that other Pro Tour with 803 starts. You go Jeff!
For Mike P, this is his 23rd Tour victory in only 242 starts tying him with Rick Persichetti for 3rd in all-time Tour wins.
