Prestige Qualifying - Final Result

Round 4 (10/5/11)

Over the past few weeks, since a remarkable team victory at Olympia Fields, a new expression has been heard upon numerous occasions... "You can't win them all unless you win the first!" Well that's what Patrick Rodgers has managed to do again this week since shooting a final round 66 to secure the top place finish in our Prestige Qualifying competition, his first time out in such an event. Some say that just making the top 5 players is the main thing of importance, but in such a competitive group, winning a qualifying quite literally means beating some of the world's best amateur golfers!

The final round scores at Stanford Golf Course were as follows:

1 Patrick Rodgers 66 (-4)

2= David Chung 68 (-2)

2= Steven Kearney 68 (-2)

6 Cameron Wilson 73 (+3)

7 Shane Lebow 75 (+5)

8 Andre Dedecker 76 (+6)
