PEPPER PIKE PROFESSIONAL ROB MOSS LEADS BOTH DIVISIONS AFTER DAY ONE
Pepper Pike Club Professional Rob Moss is one of four players tied for the lead in one division and is the outright leader in another after the first round of the NOPGA Mitchell-Haskell Tour Championship at The Country Club.
Moss, 53, shared the lead in the Regular Division with defending champion Jim Troy (Honma Golf USA), Collin Slattery (The Country Club) and Jordan Paolini (Shaker Heights Country Club) after each finished at 3-under 69.
However, his score also was the best amongst the Senior Division, as it was one better than Portage Country Club’s Steve Parker.
The final 18 holes will be played Tuesday starting at 11 a.m.
Tournament officials could not recall anyone ever leading – or winning — both divisions in the Mitchell-Haskell, one of the NOPGA’s six major events and the final individual stroke-play event of the season.
Moss, a two-time winner of this event, was one-over after his first nine holes but birdied five of his last seven holes by making six putts of at least 10 feet and as long as 20. He closed with a nifty up-and-down from a greenside bunker.
