FANS PULLING FOR RENNER AT MIZUNO OPEN
For Immediate Release

July 16, 2008 - Providence, RI The crowd was pulling for local prodigy, Jim Renner, 23, to bring home the Mizuno Open at Triggs. Renner, winner of three professional events already this summer, was grouped with co-leaders Dustin Cone (Bennington, VT) and James Gilleon (Singer, FL). Renner had a small band of loyal fans traipsing around the well-groomed Triggs track.

While Cone struck first with a birdie, Renner battled back with a three on the par- 4 fifth and they matched birds on six. Game on. But Renner stumbled with a 3- putt bogey on 7 while Cone birdied by stuffing a 5-iron to 4’ on the 190-yard par- 3. The Green Mountain Boy, 24, who is now resides in Florida, then took charge of the Mizuno by drilling a driver on to 5’ on the 298-yard 8th where the tees had been moved up to tempt. Renner got his bird but he went 3-down in two holes.

Renner fans, however, saw a chink in Cone’s armor, the only one all day, when he fluffed a chip and missed the par putt. With Renner two down the two matched cards through 14, including birds at 11 and 13. Gilleon was also hanging tough, only three back, while Steve Sokol and Michael Carbone were within striking distance in the second-to-last grouping.

On the 15th, a 496-yard par-5 that tempts players to cut the corner around imposing trees, that could use trimming, with a slice drive. In round one Renner’s drive on 15 barley stayed in play but he managed to birdie. In the final round, however, the stocky right-hander hit a harder slice that was batted back into play by leaves and branches but came to rest on rock near a fence. Renner took a swing anyway and the ball went backwards. He then took an unplayable, hit to the fairway, flew the green, chipped into a bunker, and ended up with nine.

Cone found trouble of his own on 15 when his drive came to rest on a root and he blasted his second shot over the green. The Vermonter, however, ended up making an 8 foot putt to save part and went on to birdie 16 and 18 to finish in grand style and capture the winner’s check of $5,100.

CONE CAPTURES MIZUNO OPEN
For Immediate Release

July 16, 2008 - Providence, RI - Dustin Cone, 24, shot a sparkling, final-round 64 to win the Mizuno Open at Triggs Memorial Golf Course by three strokes over Steve Sokol. Cone, a Purdue graduate from Bennington, Vermont, birdied the first hole and never looked back, firing six more birdies and eagle. The eagle came off a 300-yard drive to 4-feet on the par-4 8th.

Jim Renner, of Plainville, Mass., and winner of three professional events already this summer, stayed within two shots of Cone until he pushed a drive into trouble right on the short par-5 15th, and ended up taking a nine, and dropped out of contention. James Gilleon of Middleboro, Mass, finished third, with a two-day, 7-under total of 137.

Cone earned $5,100 by capturing the Mizuno Open, the third stop on the inaugural 5-stop Golfer's Warehouse Tour. Cone, who's played golf since he was four, also played varsity basketball in high school. He majored in finance at Purdue and said he was happy taking a couple of months off from golf in the winter to recharge his batteries. "I wouldn't have been able to handle playing golf 12-months of the year."

Cone made one bogey on the final round and managed, through deft pitching and confident putting, to escape trouble on 3, 5 and 15, when he encountered trouble with wayward drives that forced him to negotiate rocks, roots and hardpan.

The next stop on the Golfer's Warehouse Tour is at Crestwood Country Club on August 6th and 7th.

July 8, 2008 Middletown, RI—Diminutive Steve Sokol of Oxford, CT, fired 6-under 66 to take the first round lead of the SmartWater Championship at Newport National Golf Club in Middletown, RI.

Adam “Draino” Rainaud, South Hadley, Mass., made six birdies for 30 on the 244-yard, par-72 course, but missed short birdie putts on 10, 12 and 13 and finished bogey, bogey for a 68, and sole possession of second place with 18 holes to play on the second stop of the Golfer’s Warehouse Tour.

“I am no baby,” said Sokol, 29, who’s made it to the second stage of PGA Q- School twice. “When I hit bad shots (today) I got good bounces.” Sokol rolled in a 20-footer for birdie on one, and came out gangbusters on the backside with birdies on 10, 11 and 12.

Mike Welch, Quincy, Mass., and Kevin Silva, New Bedford, Mass, are in a tie for third with 69s. Dewey Arnette, 59, and Keegan Bradley, 23, Woodstock, VT, are tied for fifth at 2-under par.

The SmartWater Championship is the second of five stops on the Golfers’ Warehouse Tour, a debut tour for aspiring professional golfers hoping to qualify to play on the Nationwide or PGA TOUR. For full tour information and pairings, please visit www.golferswarehousetour.com.

July 2, 2008 Bellingham, Mass.--Steve Alminas (left), a soft-spoken 23-year-old from East Longmeadow, Mass., came from four shots back to win the Callaway Golf Pro Classic with a 6-under total at the 6,428-yard, par-71, New England Country Club. Alminas cashed his first professional winner’s check, $5,700, by closing out the first of five stops on the Golfers’ Warehouse Tour with a 67. “I was a little nervous,” said Alminas, “but I handled it pretty well.”

First-round leader Mike Carbone, of Brewster, Mass., had the lead most of the afternoon, but stumbled home with a 40 on his final nine of this 36-hole event, finishing in a tie for 7th with a 141 total.

Mike Welch of Quincy, Mass, finished in a tie for second with Jim Renner of Brewster, Mass, with 138 totals. Welch got it to 6-under and took a share of the lead but coughed it up with a double bogey on 14 and bogey on 18.

Alminas, who won the Amateur Invitation at New England CC three years ago, hit only three drivers all day on the short, windy course. “I tried to start the ball at the middle of the greens and work the ball towards the hole,” said the Winthrop College graduate, “I tried to play the easy shots.”

Alminas’ only hiccup of the day came on 18, where, feeling the pressure, he missed a two-footer for par. But it didn’t cost him because Carbone, in the final group, double-bogeyed the last two holes.

The Golfer’s Warehouse Tour makes its second stop at Newport National Golf club Tuesday and Wednesday, July 8 and 9.

Carbone Leads 2008 Callaway Golf Pro Classic on Golfers’ Warehouse Tour
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 1, 2008, Bellingham, MA Michael Carbone, of Brewster, Mass., fired a bogey-free, 6-under, 65 at tree-lined New England Country Club to take the first round lead in the Callaway Golf Pro Classic. Seven other players were under par on the 6,483-yard course that seemed ripe for the taking under ideal conditions.

Keegan Bradley, 22, playing in only his third professional event, shot a 67 and is second place. Bradley, a former Hopkinton High School star, 3-putted 8, 9 and 10 but righted the round with a 230-yard 4-iron to set up an eagle on 11.

Jeff Curl, winner of last week's Portland Open and son of former PGA touring professional Rod Curl, is in solo third with a 68.

Kyle Gallo, 69, overcame a double bogey on the par-5 11th, with birdies on 12, 13 and 14. Jim Renner, of Plainville, Mass. and winner of this year's, Cape Cod, Vermont and Massachusetts opens and 69, is in a tie for sixth with Donnie Troy and David Schuster.

Carbone, 27, who caddies at Seminole in the winter, said he played well but knows today's round doesn't mean much without backing it up tomorrow. Bradley, however, is excited. "It's a lot more fun playing as a professional," said the tall, lean St. John's University graduate. "It's more enjoyable having an opportunity to cash a check.

Bradley plays quickly, taking few practice strokes. "They clutter your brain," said Bradley, who for the last four years has been working with sports hypnotist, Pete Solona. "A lot of guys on tour use hypnotists that people don't know about. Tiger's caddie in his junior amateur wins was a sports hypnotist."

Play resumes at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow at New England Country Club in the final round of the 36 hole tournament. Leaders go off at 9:40 a.m.
