Paul Kish of Painesville Township hit the shot of the year Thursday when his tee shot on the par-4 second hole at Powderhorn was nearly holed out, leaving him a 5 inch tap-in for eagle and a skin worth $99.66.
John Niedzialek stayed hot, making a birdie on the par-3 eighth hole and capturing both pin shots, taking home $190.66 for the night.
Mike Angie made birdie on the sixth hole to capture another skin worth $99.66.
Steve Blackburn Jr. still leads the Greater Cleveland Skins leaderboard in quest of the Thompson Cup. Angie moves up five places, while Kish moves into the third position and Niedzialek is making a run at the current leader, but is still in second place.
