SCHROEDER WINS URHO CLASSIC
Posted by: kmikeym | From: July 4, 2007
Last year at the UrbanHonking Classic it was Mike Merrill who walked away with the big prize, but even his classic scheming couldn't save him yesterday.
With a $2.00 tournament fee and seven players making the trek to Vancouver it was a smaller purse than the previous year. Merrill paid the fees of both Brian Slaughter and Sarah Meadows, striking a "Devil's Bargain" to split half the prize money if they won.
But even with his multiple hole-in-one's, Slaughter came in last with a 63. Sarah, who performed brilliantly early in the game, had some serious trouble with the mid-holes and ended with 59. Rounding out the "Devil's Bargainers" was the wry Merrill himself, who seemed to self-destruct on the Cannon Course and only managed to get a 55. dalas verdugo played well for his first time on the course and took home a 54. We're looking forward to his future performances. Likewise, the steely nerved Judah Switzer scored a very nice 50, taking third place, and could easily be a contender in future tournaments. Josh Berezin scored 51 and took second. In his last nine he scored the same as last night's champion, Steve Schroeder, who took first with a great score of 46 and a full pocket of cash monies. Congratulations to everyone, and especially Steve Schroeder.
Last year the tournament was held on the north course, while this year it was the south course. So the comparisons aren't exactly true but they are still interesting. Steve was a 56 last year, compared to this year with 46. Josh had 54 and this year had 51. Merrill had an amazing 45 last year, and a 55 this year! While we was complaining of some back pain, it should be noted that he did bring his own club.

Hmmm... I'll have to look back at the official results to see who got what. Sorry for the error!

Post a comment:
50 gets you third and 51 gets you second? was there some kind of handicap?
