Ryan Stefanski had some good fortune on Thursday. After nearly hitting his tee shot into the water crossing the fairway on the relatively short par-5 12th hole at Thunder Hill GC, Stefanski got up-and-down from the left fringe to make birdie. That birdie turned out to be the only skin on the day, and he grabbed the entire pot of $345.
Mike Angie took the pin shot on #11, and Dan Lanese took #16. Each pin shot was worth $52.50.
Angie’s pin shot moves him up to the fifth position on the season-long leaderboard, still led by Steve Blackburn Jr.
Next week, the Greater Cleveland Skins Game moves to Fowlers Mill GC on Thursday, August 28 beginning at 5 p.m. This is the final week for players to reach the two events required to be eligible for the Cleveland Shoot-Out on Labor Day Monday. Show up Thursday and submit an entry to John or the pro shop for Labor Day!
