ENERGY FILLED THE AIR AT THE PLAN TO FLY OPEN

FONTHILL, ON (July 11, 2016) –  This week, the Tour headed west to the lovely Lookout Point Golf Club. The players were ready to do battle on a course known for its zippy and escarpment influenced greens, requiring finesssed putter and wedge play along with disciplined tee shots. Yet again, as it has been for most of the 2016 season, it was a superior day for competitive golf. 

This Walter J. Travis designed, 18 hole, championship course is considered a “golfer’s golf course”. Members and visitors alike agree that Lookout Point provides a real golf challenge, with every round played. Lookout Point is consistently ranked among the Top 100 Courses in Canada, by Score Magazine!

As the day got under way, Eric Velanoff come out, with guns-a-blazing, firing a sizzling 74 for his second victory in two weeks. Dylan Smith and Michael Garner finished second and third respectively, by shooting 80. In the A Flight, seven year, Tour veteran Brian Provencal would card a near perfect score of 76 to take the podium and his first-ever Tour victory..!  Jeff Truman finished four back with an 80 while Mike Hubbs secured third by carding an 81. It would take a playoff to decide the champion of B Flight this week, as both Mark Rhodes and Jake Naccarato tied in regulation, with scores of 80. The two headed to the short but challenging 18th hole which is where the playoff was decided. Mark Rhodes would finish one stroke ahead of Jake for the victory. Mike Alcott finished in third with 83. In C Flight, it was a photo finish, with Rob Martel shooting 88, Bob Read second, with 89 and Nhid Lam shooting 90 for a third place finish.
