Three players cashed in skins worth $169 each at Fowlers Mill on Thursday.
Rob Schustrich drained an across-the-green putt on the first hole to capture a skin. Corey Iacofano eagled the par-5 eighth hole after hitting the green in two. Finally, Steve Blackburn cashed in with a birdie on the tough sixth hole and extended his lead in the chase for the Thompson Cup and the 2008 Greater Cleveland Skins Game.
Blackburn has now surpassed the $1,000 mark — before the halfway point in the season!
Pin shot winners were John Zook on the third hole and Anthony Maenza on the seventh hole, worth $77 each.
The Skins game moves to Pleasant Hills next Thursday, June 19 starting at 5:30pm. Green fees will be $17.50 riding and $10.50 walking. Any players that wish to play a warm up 9 hole round before the scheduled skins game must call the course first to make such arrangements.
