Tour 18 Golf Club was the site of the 2006 SIOPen. Eight-four players competed for the coveted Hugo Cup. The winner of the Cup, with low net score of 50! was team It’s Alright Ma’, I’m Only Putting, comprised of Alexander Alonso, Daniel Whitman, David Van Rooy, and David Baker. Low gross honors went to Virginia Tech’s team: John Donovan, Tanner Bateman, and Thomas Dallam. Michael Lesser hit a monster drive (378 yards) to win the long drive contest. John Zehr was closest to the hole on #9. Ken Pearlman was closest on #17. Thanks to the folks at Tour 18 who helped organize the event. The SIOPen moves to New York next year. See you there.
