Championship Flight: Top 5: J.K. Miller (70), Robert Corbello (72), John Jeffrey (74), John Oates (75), Collier Nolte (75)
J.K. Miller of Lumberton, Tx brought the heat today by firing a 2 under par (70) to bring home top honors. J.K. and Robert Corbello battled it out all day and if you glanced at the scorecards you would have thought Corbello had put it to ol’ J.K. Miller. Corbello came out of the gate strong making birdies on 1, 6, 10, 13, and 18 but it was J.K.’s steady play and 3 birdies on 4, 17 and 18 that closed the deal. J.K. may have officially retired the knickers after this event. If you haven’t heard, J.K. has shot some of his best scores when he chooses to wear something other than knickers. We’ll see if J.K. is superstitious from here on out. Taking third place honors with a steady 74, was John Jeffrey of Groves, Tx. with birdies on 3,5 and 11. It looked like John Jeffrey was putting up a good fight of his own as he and John Oates both caught fire and went on a birdie spree. Oates like Corbello looked to be putting it to the field. With all the birdies these two were knocking off, you would have thought it was hunting season. Oates birdied 6, 11, 14, 16 and 18. The birdie spree on the back was just the ticket as we had a cluster of scores at 75. We had to go to the scorecard to decide 4th and 5th place as Oates, Nolte, Pizzi and Morton all shot 75. It was Oates that finished the strongest on the back capturing 4th, followed by Collier Nolte of Sour Lake, Tx with 3 birdies of his own on the back, followed by Mike Morton of Broussard, La with a solid round, and then Steven Pizzi of Houston, Tx.
