PALSENBARG LEADS PDP HEADING INTO LAS WEEKS OF 2013  

 

The fight for the 2013 PGA of BC PDP title has entered its final weeks and while there was little change at the top, there is a dogfight for the sixth and final money-earning spot.

 

At the top of the leaderboard, only three points separate the top three point-getters.

 

Matt Palsenbarg of Northview Golf & Country Club, with 99 points, leads Gleneagles Golf Course's James Presnail by one point while Dave Zibrik of Seymour Creek Golf Centre is only three points behind at 96 points.
