18 players made it out for a rainy start to Week 3 of the Greater Cleveland Skins Game at Thunder Hill GC last Thursday. The sun came out midway through the round and it was nothing but sunny skies for Steve Blackburne Jr., Rob Schustrich, and Dave Sotka, as they each captured a skin worth $138.
Blackburne Jr. birdied the tough 400-yard par-four 14th hole while Schustrich birdied the tight 380-yard 15th. Sotka made birdie at the par-5 18th hole that held up for a skin.
Pin shot winners were Josh Krause on the 11th hole and Mike Angie who hit it tight on the 16th hole.
Angie’s birdie on 16 was tied off by a difficult triple-breaking chip shot holed out by Paul Kish from 50 feet away. Birdies were also tied on the difficult par-four 10th hole and the par-5 12th.
Allen Freeman still holds onto a slim lead after Week 3 of the Greater Cleveland Skins Game in pursuit of the Thompson Cup.
The Greater Cleveland Skins game travels to Fowlers Mill next Thursday, May 14th with a special green fee rate of $20.00 that includes the cart.
