King Wins @ Midwest Classic Major

Kohler, WI– The site of the 2012 Midwest Classic in Kohler, Wisconsin was Blackwolf Run and the club’s two outstanding golf courses, The River and Meadow Valleys.  The site of this summer’s 2012 US Women’s Open did not seem to intimidate the 183 Am Tour player’s that traveled to the shores of Lake Michigan to tackle one of the toughest Am Tour Major layouts in recent memory.  A full 12 flights competed over the weekend at Blackwolf Run and when the dust settled there were 12 worthy competitors that earned the right to be called “Midwest Classic Champions.”

Jones Flight: Texan, Eric King from the Hill Country Tour, typically wears burnt orange slacks on Sunday but,  wisely choose shorts this time around and that must have been all he needed in capturing his first ever Major Championship.  King outlasted two Wisconsin players, John Hipp and Chris Johnson for the victory.  Besides King’s victory, another Jones flight highlight of the weekend was Georgian John McAleer’s hole in one on Meadow Valleys #3 on Saturday.



Next Up:  The Dallas Tour travels east to Canton on First Monday weekend for the Canton Classic @ Twin Lakes on Saturday, June 2nd.   Hill Country Tour is off until the Austin - Nicklaus Open at Flintrock Falls on Saturday, June 16th.  The Oklahoma Tour makes another stop in Edmond for the Coffee Creek Championship at Coffee Creek Golf Club on Sunday, June 3rd.
