Stalo Goes Low at Players Championship
Star rookie Chris Stalo obliterated the Players Championship scoring record with a remarkable 10 under par 62 at Eagle Crest. After piecing together 3 birdies and an eagle on the front nine to make the turn at 1 under par, Chris went on a tear with 5 birdies, 2 eagles and 2 pars on the back nine for a 27 closing nine. The back nine included 10 putts and 8 one putt greens in a row from 11 to the finish. His 24 putts for the round ties the Tour record, held by Don Ward and Rick Persichetti, and the net 27 for nine holes is likely also a record, although that stat is only kept in the veterans memories. And because it is all about Brian, we note that Brian Lardin finished 2nd with an excellent 5 under par 67, with 29 putts and 10 greens in regulation. Paul Parent posted 3rd at 1 over par 73 and David Martin, Eric Kiekbusch and Tom Moran posted Top-4 finishes at 3 over par 75. Notables: This is the 10 career 4th place finish for Moran and Mike Geisser made his 200th Tour start. The previous Players scoring record was a 6 under par 66 by Ed Campbell at Inkster Valley. Stalo gets his first Major win and 3rd of his rookies season in his 15th start.
