Coles Eagles for 2nd at Price Cutter Championship


Gary Edwin Tour Player Gavin Coles had a terrific week at the Price Cutter Charity Championship on the Nationwide Tour, finishing 21-under par and in 2nd place. Coles fired rounds of 64,68,69 and then eagled the 72nd hole on the last day to close with 66 and break away from the pack of 5 players who finished 20-under. Coles could not however keep up with the blistering pace set by eventual winner Steve Friesen who's final round 64 gave him an impressive 4-day total of 26-under par.

Coles set a remarkable record for the week on the 18th hole at Highland Springs Country Club, playing the 542yd par 5 in 7-under! Coles made a 12-footer for eagle on Thursday then an 18-footer for eagle on Friday, settled for birdie on Saturday after missing his 12-foot putt for eagle and then finished the week by rolling in a 4-foot eagle putt on the 18th on Sunday.

Gavin is currently 37th on the Nationwide Tour moneylist, with the top 25 at the end of the season earning full playing rights on the PGA Tour in 2012.
