Withey Closes His 4th Win
Chuck Withey birdied the 18th hole to post 3 under par 69. Six holes behind Gary Thomas held the lead, but an hour and a half later they were tied as Gary and several other top contenders found the narrow 16th and tiny 17th to be their undoing. So the Red White and Blue went to overtime for the first time on their wicked tough putting green. Withey got the lead on the 3rd hole of the 4 hole aggregate playoff and then lagged a tough downhill putt to 4 inches to secure the win. Veterans Mike Prieskorn and Tom Moran tied for 3rd place. On course prizes went to John Raymond, Tyler Floyd, Tom Moran and Scott Wilsey. Notables: Thomas Mulhern logged his 50th Tour start on Sunday. Mike Prieskorn’s T-3 check moves him to 1st place in the Red White and Blue all-time money list. Chuck secured his 14th Tour win in 259 starts, now tying him with Kevin Gregoire for 9th in all-time Tour wins. His 4th win of the year puts him on the doorstep of tying the Tour record of 5 in a season. Observers noted that July 3rd was Chris Cooley’s Birthday.
