In the season finale of the 2014 Chippewa Scratch League, Ty Kovach and Allen Freeman did exactly what they needed to do to catch league-leaders Mike Simpson and Jim Krivanek: they won one of the jumble’s 3-hole segments, made a skin, and finished in a first place tie overall.
But to their credit, that’s exactly what Simpson and Krivanek did as well to stay on top for the 2014 season.
Both teams finished the evening at 3-under par in the jumble format of scramble, better ball and alternate shot.
Freeman and Kovach won the scramble session at 4-under par for the first three holes and made an eagle skin on #11.
Simpson and Krivanek won the alternate shot three holes with a 1-under par score that included a birdie skin on the 16th.
So both teams earned the exact same amount of money, meaning no ground was gained in the race to the finish. Simpson finished in first position having won money on a week that Krivanek missed; same for Freeman and Kovach for third and fourth place. Final Standings for the season are posted below.
The players thank to Kevin, Don and Dylan for running a great league all season; it is very much appreciated. Kevin has some changes in store to grow the Chippewa Scratch League for the 2015 edition; watch for the Preview story in the spring with that announcement…
