Rookie Jolliffe Gets Blue in Playoff
Elizabeth Jolliffe birdied her 12th hole (15th on course) to take the lead in the Go Blue Classic and appeared to be hanging on to it until Eric Birkle eagled his 18th hole (the 1st) to tie Jolliffe in regulation play. But in the 4-hole aggregate playoff, Jolliffe birdied the 1st hole while Birkle bogeyed the 2nd and Elizabeth parred out to take her 1st Tour win in only her 8th start of her rookie season. Jolliffe joins Stewart Levine as rookie winners this season. Phillip Parent took 3rd at 2 under par 70 and Levine tied Chuck Withey for 4th at 1 under par 71. On course prizes went to Commissioner Floyd and Tom Moran. Notables: Jeff Pasz completed his 250th career start. Tim Markel posted 3 eagles for the day. Birkle led with 25 putts, helped by 2 chip ins. He now leads the West Division money standings. Helen Puffenberger hit 11 fairways. Don Ward posted 3 chip ins. Levine and Brian Pieszchala had 7 birdies and Levine tied Corey McCue with 10 greens hit. Brian finished in the money to move to solo 4th in the all-time Go Blue money list. Jolliffe had a 6 birdie round and a chip in.
Jolliffe was the lone player to play-in to the Western Division Championship.
