Brian Gay has just birdied the 72nd hole at The Conservatory in Palm Coast, Florida, to move into a tie for 8th, one shot back of a 7-way tie for the lead. Thus far, his brilliant, closing 69 has been bettered today by only one player (and then by only one shot).
The leaders are still out, but with a purse at $4.6 million, this is an extremely important finish for Brian. He has now muscled his way into the TOUR's Top 30 Money Winners, and therein lies exemptions into the 2009 Masters and U.S. Open. As I write, play has been suspended once again due to rain. Five golfers remain on the course, and I will update this post with final results and money as events unfold.
One more event to go . .
Next week's
Children's Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart at Lake Buena Vista, Florida, just minutes away from Brian's home.
