LOUDMOUTH GOLF TOUR ATTRACTS NATIONWIDE AND PGA TOUR WINNERS; PURSE GOES TO JESSE HUTCHINS
Orlando, FL— (March 24, 2009)—Watch out, PGA and Nationwide. The LoudMouth Golf Tour has completed its first season, with the participation of many Nationwide and PGA Champions Tour winners, and of course, an eye for florid fashion.
LoudMouth Golf’s Inaugural Tour wrapped-up on March 2nd at the Orange Tree Golf Club in Orlando, bringing outstanding golf to one of the most challenging courses in Central Florida.
The Oakmont Houndstooth LMG Tour Championship check went to the Tournament winner, Jesse Hutchins, who shot a 67. Finishing second was Rob Oppenheim, with a 70. Rounding out third place was Chris Condello, who turned in a 74. Condello made the top three while wearing LoudMouth Golf pants in the Disco Balls White pattern, a fashion choice that no doubt brought him luck.
For the Tour Championship, 85% of the purse was paid back out in cash.
