Fred Miller of Aurora did a great job of keeping the ball in play on a very windy day, and grabbed his first CGA win of the season at the stroke play event at Gleneagles GC in Twinsburg on Sunday.
Coming off recent knee surgery, Miller posted a 3-over par 39-36=75 to win by one shot over Allen Freeman and Mike Kracker.
Three skins were won on the day: birdie on the par-3 6th by Fred Miller; birdie on the par-4 3rd by Mike Angie; and birdie on the par-4 18th by Allen Freeman.
Freeman’s T2 finish and skin pushed him back to the top of the season-long points list, leading Kory Oslie by 40.
The next Championship Golf Association event is an individual stroke play tournament at Punderson GC in Newbury on Sunday, July 6 at 9 a.m. To enter, visit the CGA website or call 216-556-0219.
