LEE RHIND JT 12th FINISH
ON TIGHT LIES TOUR
Uphall tour pro Lee Rhind finished joint 12th in the rain-abbreviated River Plantation Open - the latest event on the Tight Lies Tour winter schedule - at River Plantation Country Club, Conroe in the Greater Houston area of Texas today.
The second round was washed out and the event reduced from 54 holes to 36.
Rhind had rounds of 73 and 72 for a one-over-par total of 145. In his second round, the former Scottish boys' open amateur stroke-play champion (at Downfield GC), birdied the seventh, 10th and 12th but had bogeys at the first, eighth and 14th.
The "killer" for Lee was a triple bogey 7 at the 14th in his first round.
Rhind collected a pay-out of $795 which is not as big a profit as it might seem. Tour members have to pay $600 dollars entry money per event. We are presuming Lee is a member because he won on the Texas Tight Lies Tour - and the PGA EuroPro Tour - last year. Non-members pay $725 per event, which suggests that that the winter schedule is more or less financed by entry monies.
The winner was Chad Ginn with scores of 68 and 70 for six-under 138. He collected $4,970. Joint runners-up on 139 were fellow-Americans Jay Reynolds (72-67) and Michael Mezel (69-70). They won $2,606 each.
