Round 4

Romig is victorious!  On the heals of an amazing end of the year run that saw a streak of three straight $ Finishes in weeks 30-32 (including a PGA Championship win), Romig cruises through the SLS Cup Playoffs thanks to young guns Anthony Kim (team MVP) and Camilo Villegas.  2007 SLS Cup champ Dutch Roll could get no closer than four shots after the first round and his bid for a second straight SLS Cup title was denied.  In two playoff matches, Romig won by an average of fourteen shots.  A dominating season and a fitting redemption for just barely missing out on last year’s SLS Cup Playoffs.

In the consolation match Golf Cheese Hoes pulls away in the final round in a tight match through three rounds, beating Honma -11 to -6.  The 5th seed to begin the playoffs, Golf Cheese Hoes had #1 seed Dutch Roll on the ropes in the semifinals, only to falter on Sunday.  Not this week.  Golf Cheese Hoes gets a solid round of E from Mike Weir to clinch 3rd place for the season.

Round 4

It’s going to be #1 Dutch Roll vs. #2 Romig in the SLS Cup Championship match. 

In one of the closest SLS Cup matches to date, Dutch Roll pulls away in the final round on Mahan’s -4, to win by six shots -30 to -24 over Golf Cheese Hoes.  Romig’s win over Honma was never in doubt as he cruises to a dominating twenty shot win, -37 to -17, thanks to Villegas (1st), Furyk (3rd) and Kim (3rd).  Slaughter wraps up 5th place with a convincing -31 to -23 win over Gonzalez.

For the second straight season #1 and #2 will meet in the SLS Cup final.  Dutch Roll has a chance to win his second consecutive SLS Cup when the SLS Cup Championship kicks off in two weeks.  #5 Golf Cheese Hoes and #6 Honma will meet in the SLS Cup Consolation match.

Round 3

It’s going to be a great finish.  Dutch Roll and Golf Cheese Hoes are still tied up through three rounds at -26 each.  It all comes down to Sunday.  Romig shoots -8 today adding another five shots to his already commanding lead over Honma.  Gonzalez is down but not out, shooting a -7 and gaining two shots on Slaughter.  Gonzalez will be looking at a five shot defecit in tomorrow’s final round.
