Another Osoyoos Rattlesnake Open, another 50-inch TV for Justin Wurz.
The 20-year-old Fulton grad recorded an eagle-2 Sunday to win a three-man playoff and the top prize in a field of 150.
“I hit a lob wedge from 100 yards,” chuckled Wurz. “It was a blind hole and apparently it landed about six feet from the cup and spun in the hole.”
Wurz, who sports a plus-2 handicap, finished with a 4-under 68 Saturday after shooting 76 in a rain-marred round Saturday, where he was 5-over after four holes. He had nines of 34-34 Sunday.
“I was just driving it well and hitting my irons,” said Wurz, a Future Shop employee who averages about 300 yards off the tee.
A member at the Vernon Golf & Country Club, where he is favoured to win the men’s club championship, Wurz briefly attended Missouri Valley College in Marshall, 80 miles northeast of Kansas City, on a scholarship with the Vikings last fall.
“Things didn’t work out there. It wasn’t a very good program. I’d still like to pursue schooling, but I’m not sure where.”
