Lobo Letzig Paired with Tiger

Posted on August 1st, 2009 by admin

Former Lobo golfer Michael Letzig will be in the final group Sunday at the Buick Open, going for his first PGA Tour win and facing none other than Tiger Woods.

Letzig led for much of the day Saturday, but gave up two strokes on the 18th hole with a jitters-caused double bogey, sending him to the clubhouse at 16 under, one stroke behind Woods going into Day Four of the 50th and possibly final playing of the Buick Open, which has lost its title sponsor.

Letzig, who turned pro in 2002, has played in 20 events and won $700,000 in 2009, which puts him at 74th on the PGA Tour money list. He’s made 19 cuts. He finished 8th in the RBC Canadian Open last week and has finished in the top 25 seven times this year.

The Buick’s final-day action starts at 11 a.m. Mountain on The Golf Channel, then switches over to CBS at 1 p.m. Mountain. Woods and Letzig go off at 11:50 a.m. Mountain. Oddly, like Saturday, a half hour of the tournament is not broadcast on television.
