For me, that was the highlight because I knew I needed to make that putt to keep distance.” “I knew he was close, but I didn’t know what everyone else was doing in the field. That was kind of the highlight,” O’Neal said. “I hit it in there about 8 feet and made birdie on top of him, and then I made birdie on the next hole.
“I had a hiccup on 14 and had the ball spin back in the water, but after that I rebounded and made a couple of birdies coming down the stretch and was able to get the win.”īack-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th hole were the turning point for O’Neal to pull away from Kevin Hall who came in second place with a two-day total of 141. I didn’t play that well on the front nine,” said O’Neal, the Savannah, Georgia, native. He shot a 68 on Monday to close out his two-day score at 5-under 139. O’Neal overcame two early bogeys on the front nine to finish with 4-under par on Monday after making seven birdies. “Hopefully it’s going to inspire guys not to quit and keep grinding.” For me at 48, still to be able to compete and be able to play means a lot to me,” said O’Neal, a 20-year veteran, who was the oldest golfer in the field. The victory earned O’Neal an exemption into this week’s PGA Tour event in Detroit, the Rocket Mortgage Classic, beginning Thursday. It was the deciding factor for Tim O’Neal, who won the inaugural John Shippen National Invitational at the Detroit Golf Club on Monday.
