I can't remember the last time I could report 2 Canadian guys in the top 10 in a Champions tour event, but it happened yesterday when Rod Spittle 70, just missed his 7 footer on the 18th and Tom Lehman 69, made his 5 footer for his 1 shot win at -13 203 It is is 3rd Champions tour win.
Spittle, who spent 25 years in the insurance business before turning pro in 2004, had this to say after "I have the best seat in the house," said Spittle, who won his first Champions Tour title at the AT&T Championships last year. "If I can't make my putt on 18, I'm cheering for Tom to make his." He earned $144,000
Meanwhile Jim Rutledge who Monday qualified had a great week finishing T6 just 4 shots off the win. He parlayed thatT6 finish into a berth in next week's The ACE Group Classic field as a non-exempt top-10 finisher He won $64,800
