Birkle Best of the West(ern Swing)
Eric Birkle survived the rain and birdied the 16th hole to hang on for Little Diablo Salsa Western Swing Even Par win. Chuck Withey posted early at 1 over par and waited in vain for a playoff. Gregg Nothdurft took 3rd at 3 over par and Dave Oliver, Scott Freude and defending champ Ned Loving tied for 4th at 4 over par. Salsa winners on course were Chris Stalo and Ken Westerman while Tommy O’Neill took low putts with an outstanding 25. Westerman led the field with 11 fairways hit while Tom Moran and John Lennane hit 10. Birkle’s round was highlighted by a natural eagle and his winnings move him to 4th in all-time Western Swing dollars and he joins the Millenium Club in career winnings. It is his 6th Tour win in 181 starts.
Another good fundraiser for English Springer Rescue America!
