Dave Sotka of Chardon played a spectacular round of golf under the gun on Saturday at Manakiki in the Cleveland Metropark’s Tour Championship, getting the job done exactly when he needed to get it done.
In truly challenging conditions, he posted a 1-under par score of 71 to win both the 2012 Cleveland Metroparks Golf Tour Championship and the first-ever Player of the Year honors, all in one fell swoop.
But a crucial missed putt on the final green by Steve Blackburn Jr. could have made for an entirely different story.
