2008 Week 37: SLS Cup Championship / Tour Championship Scoring

shlinklincoln September 23rd, 2008

Round 4

Romig is victorious!  On the heals of an amazing end of the year run that saw a streak of three straight $ Finishes in weeks 30-32 (including a PGA Championship win), Romig cruises through the SLS Cup Playoffs thanks to young guns Anthony Kim (team MVP) and Camilo Villegas.  2007 SLS Cup champ Dutch Roll could get no closer than four shots after the first round and his bid for a second straight SLS Cup title was denied.  In two playoff matches, Romig won by an average of fourteen shots.  A dominating season and a fitting redemption for just barely missing out on last year’s SLS Cup Playoffs.

In the consolation match Golf Cheese Hoes pulls away in the final round in a tight match through three rounds, beating Honma -11 to -6.  The 5th seed to begin the playoffs, Golf Cheese Hoes had #1 seed Dutch Roll on the ropes in the semifinals, only to falter on Sunday.  Not this week.  Golf Cheese Hoes gets a solid round of E from Mike Weir to clinch 3rd place for the season.

2008 SLS Cup Champion: Romig $100.00 (+$42.00 ML)

2008 SLS Cup Runner Up: Dutch Roll $50.00 (+$21.00 ML)

2008 SLS Cup 3rd Place: Golf Cheese Hoes $30.00 (+$36.00 ML)

2008 SLS Cup 4th Place: Honma $15.00 (+$33.00 ML)

Congrats to Romig, the 2008 SLS Cup Champion.  The SLS Cup will be presented at the end of December at the 2009 Rotoff Draft Auction. 

Round 3

Dutch Roll gets some shots back with a round of -6, two shots better than Romig on the day, and cuts his defecit to five shots heading into the final round, -27 to -22.  It will be K.J. Choi vs. Anthony Kim in the final round of the SLS Cup Championship.

It’s all tied up still.  Golf Cheese Hoes and Honma both shoot -2 in the third round and are both tied at -11 overall.  Mike Weir and Briny Baird will compete in the final round to determine the 3rd place finisher.

Round 4

Honma and Golf Cheese Hoes advance to the SLS Cup Semifinals. 

The win was never in doubt for Honma who saw Slaughter double bogey his first hole and never looked back.  What was a tie after three rounds turns into a seventeen shot swing as Singh shoots -8 and Trahan goes +9.  Honma’s dream run continues this week with a matchup against #2 Romig.

Golf Cheese Hoes has a looming matchup against #1 Dutch Roll after her victory over Gonzalez.  The win was never in doubt as Golf Cheese Hoes never trailed thanks to Weir’s 61 in round 1.

#3 Slaughter will play #5 Gonzalez for 5th place.

Round 3

Slaughter climbs all the way back, shooting a -7 and tieing his SLS Cup matchup with Honma at -32 a piece.  It will surely be an exciting finish tomorrow.

In the other SLS Cup 1st Round matchup Golf Cheese Hoes has a comfortable lead over Gonzalez, in shooting a -8 for the day to lead by six shots going into tomorrow’s final round.

Round 1

The low seeds get a jump on their foes in the 1st round with Honma and Golf Cheese Hoes leading in their respective head-to-head matchups.  Still plenty of golf to be played though. 

#6 seed Honma ties the Rotoff low round of -16 (Singh and Baird 64), but only leads #3 Slaughter by two shots. 

In the other matchup #5 Golf Cheese Hoes gets out to a comfortable -15 (Weir course record 61) to -9 lead over #4 Gonzalez.
