Norristown, PA - Steve Owens, Jr.'s hot month continued at
Jeffersonville GC with a a 4-under par 66 to capture the Publinks
Championship. Last week Owens was the
medalist in the GAP Open qualifying tournament at Woodcrest GC. Two weeks ago, Owens teamed with Chris
Thude to tie the tournament scoring record in capturing the Philadelphia
Better-Ball Championship at Cobbs Creek GC. |
|
|
|
|
|
Owens got off to a quick start with
birdies on two, five and six, to get to 3-under for the round through six
holes. The lone bogey of Owens' round
came from a 3-putt at the difficult downhill, par-3, eighth. Owens got that shot back at the 353-yard,
par-4 tenth and added another birdie at the uphill, par-4 eleventh. Pars on the last seven holes and Owens
would finish at 4-under which would be good enough for the win. The victory
was Owens' 2nd Publinks Championship in the last three years. |
|
|
|
|
|
Defending Publinks champion, Scott
McNeil, playing in the second to last group, made a run at Owens but came up
one shot short. McNeil started his
round with pars on the first five holes before getting under par on the
564-yard, par-5 sixth. McNeil's
prodigious drive left him with 148 yards left to the green. McNeil would convert the 2-putt birdie to
get under par for the round. McNeil
would then post birdies on holes nine and thirteen to get to 3-under, one
shot behind Owens. A bogey at the long
220-yard, par 3 fifteenth would drop McNeil back to 2-under for the round, a
shot he would quickly get back with a birdie on the sixteenth. Knowing he needed a birdie on one of the
final two holes to tie Owens, McNeil was unable to convert and finished a
shot back with a score of 3-under par 67. |
|
|
|
|
|
Ken Mangin finished solo third with the
only other sub-par round of the championship with a 2-under par, 68. Mangin's
up and down round consisted of five birdies and three bogies including
birdies at sixteen and seventeen to get him to within two of Owens. Travis Gahman finished alone in 4th with a
score of 72. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the senior division, Mike Harms,
playing in the second group of the day set the pace early with a score of
1-over par 71. Harms posted four
birdies against five bogies for the victorious 1-over par total to capture
the Publinks Senior Division (ages 50-59) Championship. Reigning senior Player of the Year, Mike
Owsik and Glen Schreiner finished three shots back at 74 to tie for second. Match Play Championship medalist Bill
Turner finished fourth with a round of 75. |
|
|
|
|
|
Jim Prendergast, last year's Publinks
Senior Champion, graduated to the Super Senior Division (60+) this year and
was victorious by two shots over defending super-senior champion Terry Law. Prendergast, starting his round on the
ninth hole, was one-over par with three holes remaining in his round, with
his sights set on catching Harms for
low senior. Unfortunately, for
Prendergast, bogies on his last three (holes six, seven and eight) ended his
chances at low senior, but his total of 4-over par was good enough to best
Law by two shots and capture the Super Senior Championship. Behind Prendergast and Law, Steve Owens,
Sr. and John Paul finished T-3 with rounds of 78. |
|
|
|
|
|
Steve Owens, Sr. captured the net
division by three shots over defending net champions Terry Law. Ted Nunez was third and WD Horan finished
fourth. John Paul rounded out the top
five. |
