A field of 36 teams vied for a $10,000 purse with an added $1,800 in the side skins game at the Yankee Run 5-Man Scramble on Sunday April 25, 2010.
Everyone prepared for a day of terrible weather, but mother nature surprised the field with sunny, mild conditions. And in the end, it took a record low score to win.
The team of John Zitkovic, pro Tim Ailes, Kent Russell, Rich Miller and Lynn Martin shot an amazing 20-under par to win by a single shot. The veteran team amassed 4 eagles, 12 birdies, and only 2 pars for their record-setting winning score of 50.
As was stipulated prior to the start of the tournament, all ties were decided by a scorecard playoff beginning with the hardest handicapped hole and going forward. The following results reflect that rule:
1st John Zitkovic and Company 50 (-20) $4,000
2nd Bill Baloh and Company 51 (-19) $2,800
3rd Steve Blackburn and Company 51 (-19) $1,800
4th Bob Blaze and Company 51 (-19) $900
5th Dan Krauth and Company 52 (-18) $500
6th Adam Crisp & Co 52 (-18)
7th Terry Danko & Co 52 (-18)
8th Larry Nagy & Co 52 (-18)
9th Kevin Cook & Co 53 (-17)
10th Robert Hall & Co 53 (-17)
11th Frank Francia & Co 53 (-17)
In the skins game, there were 2 skins out, each skin worth $900:
Hole # 13 Par 4
Eagle 2 – Adam Crisp and Co. (sinking a 35 foot putt)
Hole # 16 Par 5
Double Eagle 2 – Robert Grotevant and Co. (hitting 6 iron from 160 yds)
