Hi All,
Not sure if anyone saw this on ESPN this weekend, but here's the news recap:
WINGDALE, NY AUG. 25th- With the heat index and humidity levels soaring to 100 this past Saturday, the PGA tour swung into Silo Ridge Golf Course. On the 11:30 am pairing was Evelyn McCauley, Sean McCauley, James McCauley and Ed "Buzzy" Brock. Paried in teams the foursome (Evelyn/Sean vs. Jim/Buzzy), battled the heat and course on a steamy New York afternoon. The early holes went to the seasoned veterans of Brock/McCauley, with solid driving accuracy and a amazing 70' chip in birdie on the third hole by Buzzy put Evelyn/Sean in catch-up mode right away. Jim McCauley's solid double bogey golf as usual kept the pressure on throughout the first nine. The back nine was a different story, Evelyn & Sean rejuvenated from a hotdog & beer lunch on the turn, turned up the heat. Evelyn was quoted after the match as saying "I knew if we stayed close on the front nine we had a shot. They looked tired going into the 10th and that was the time we decided to put them away." True to her comeback nature, the duo recaptured the lead and never looked back. After pulling the match back to even, they went up by two and held on by playing par golf. Visibly tired and mentally frustrated, the Brock/McCauley pairing never could make a run for the title late in the match. To add insult to injury the PGA is investigating questionable score keeping. After Sergio Garcia's disqualification at this year's British Open for false scoring, the PGA has said they will open a full investigation. Evelyn McCauley was again quoted in the clubhouse after the match saying "Jim has a long history of gimmes and mulligans that I have always questioned with his score. I used to carry an abacus counting device, I would glady loan it to Jim. I am just glad to see the officials are finally taking notice." The four are looking to setup a rematch for later this year.
