  Norristown, PA - Travis Gahman continued his hot stretch by defeating GAP Mid-Am champ Mike Brown in a sudden death playoff at Jeffersonville GC capturing the 2009 Publinks Championship.  He was coming off a weekend of stellar play at Sandy Run in the Hoffner Memorial Invitational which ended in a playoff loss a day earlier.  This time he wouldn't be denied and emerged victorious with a par on the first playoff hole.    
       Gahman overcame four three-putt greens on the day with solid ball striking and a birdie at the last to secure his spot in the playoff.  Brown needed three birdies in the last four holes to earn his spot in the playoff.  After birdies at the 220 yard par-3 15th and the 436 yard par-4 17th, Brown knocked his second shot on the par-5 home hole on the green and two putts later he had a spot in the playoff.  Playing alongside Brown was two-time defending champion Buck Jones.  Jones played steady golf all day and came to the last at 3-over par but a bogey ended his chances for a three-peat as he finished T-3, one shot out of the playoff.    
     Also in the group one shot out of the playoff with rounds of 74 were 2-time Philadelphia Open Amateur champion Jason Loehrs, 3-time USGA Publinks qualifier, Tom Timby, Philip Winter, Jeffrey Romines, Mark Breslin and Michael Carr.
