Graunke is Record Big Dog
Jeff Graunke admitted to taking coaching after his Big Dog record win Saturday. Wondrous what a few good tips will do as Graunke shot and 8 under 64 that would have won with any pro partner in the field. Fortunately Jeff had Tom Kim who boosted him to 2nd place 1 shot back on Friday. Jeff played a bogey free round including a front nine 31 to take charge early and not look back. Helen Puffenberger made a late charge, birdieing 3 of the last 4 holes to finish in 2nd at 8 under aggregate with her Pro, also Tom Kim. John Ferlito took 3rd at 7 under par combined and Chuck Withey tied with Ron Hiestand for 4th at 5 under par combined scores. On course prizes went to Bill Gordon and Erika Fitzpatrick. Notables: Mike Lee hit 10 greens, John Raymond completed his 200th career Tour start and Hiestand padded his all-time lead in Big Dog winnings. Graunke won his 2nd consecutive start and set a record low combined score of 129 and tied the event mark at 13 under par combined. He got his 20th career Top-4 finish with his 4th career win in a milestone 100th start.
