Major Markel Back in HPO Winner Circle

Tim “Major” Markel revisited the winners circle at the Harbour Pointe Open 11 years after his first Major victory in the 2012 HPO. He played consistent golf both days of the event with an opening round 2 under par 70 to take the lead and an even par final round to keep that score for the win. 2021 champ Mike Prieskorn rallied on day 2 to take 2nd place. Corey McCue took 3rd at 3 over par. Ken Westerman, John Ferlito and 2 time winner Brian Lardin tied for 4th at 4 over par. Day 1 on course prize went to Ken Westerman and Tom Moran earned the All Star Skins Game invite. Notables: Westerman had the low round of the tournament with a 68 on Sunday to move up 12 places. Lardin moves to #1 in all-time HPO winnings and Markel moves to 4th. Chris Stalo holds on to the #1 World Ranking by decimals over Corey McCue and Willi Hesse holds onto the #1 spot in the Money Standings. Markel gets his 11th Tour win in his 287th start. This is his 7th Major victory, tying him with Jeff Klipa and David Martin for 3rd most Majors won.
