Some of the best golfers in town squared off this past weekend
at Manakiki Golf Course for the �2012 Cleveland Metroparks Golf
Tour Championship.�
On Saturday, October 13 the �2012 Tour Championship,� which
marks the conclusion of the �2012 Tournament Series� within
Cleveland Metroparks, ended with true excitement. Despite the cool
weather, David Sotka remained on a hot streak, winning the Barbour
Cup event last week with partner Steve Blackburn, Jr., and cutting
his partner by one stroke at the Tour Championship event. Sotka
fired a solid 1- under par 71 to Blackburn, Jr.'s 72:
Tour Championship (ties broken by scorecard
playoff)
1st: David Sotka -
71
2nd: Steve Blackburn, Jr.- 72
3rd: Kory Oslie -
78
4th: Dave Stover -
78
5th: Warren Cohen - 79
The Tour Championship is a special �invitation only� tournament.
All participants must have had a top 10 finish at a designated 2012
Tournament Series tournament to receive and invitation.
The win was also enough to put Sotka well over the top in
points, crowning him the first �Cleveland Metroparks Player of the
Year� - an award for the number one cumulative point earner from
all Cleveland Metroparks Golf tournaments.
�Player of the Year� and Top 5:
1st: David Sotka - 126 pts.
2nd: Dave Stover - 88 pts.
3rd: A.J. Borisa - 86 pts.
4th: Nick Palladino - 80 pts.
5th: Steve Blackburn Jr. - 76 pts.
�We consider the first year of the �Player of the Year �award to
be a real success. As the year progressed, interest really began to
grow and it is something we look forward to continuing for many
seasons to come,� said Golf Pro John Fiander.
