The Polish American Tavern was utter mayhem. They ran out of Zywiec before midnight,  but by 2 AM the sales rep had arrived with a new load featuring a promo with Super Scotty Shaw and the Polish Super Princess.

Lazarchick maintained his first place position in the League. Scotty Shaw however, vaulted up to 3rd place and Art Czachorowski put himself in striking distance with Two to Go. Scotty and Art both placed 42 on the front scorecard, one behind Rob Juliano. Art was respectable with a 44 on the back. Juliano used only 40 strokes. But Scotty played Greentree like a Pitch and Putt, finishing the back with a sizzling 36!

The battle was from Glen Chabotar back on the tour from extended rehab, and Rookie Rob Juliano. Glen came out on fire, starting Birdie, Par. He finished the front leading Shaw by 11 Strokes and Juliano by 8. Juliano started with 3 for Par and would collect a total of 10 on the day, plus a Birdie. Scotty found par 8 times and dropped 3 for Birdie. Scotty scored 4 on 7 straight holes on the back. Glen dropped 3 for par over those holes and went into seventeen, leading by 4 Strokes. Rob opened the back with 3 pars but in the next four holes, playing 6 over par, fell a stroke behind Scotty after 15. Glen took a disappointing 6 on seventeen and saved a Bogy 6 on 18. Rob found par on seventeen and delivered a sweet Birdie on eighteen. Scotty Shaw was intently focused. A beautiful drive right down the middle on 17, followed by a short iron to the green opened the door. The Birdie Putt was beautiful. He was two up on Juliano and cut Chabotar’s lead to 1. The drive and second shot down the 18th were ideal. The drama in the air caught the attention of other golfers on the course. He had a gallery when he delivered a beautiful approach shot to the green. The long putt was close and the short putt grabbed the victory! Shaw was elated. It was his best tournament of the season!

With 2 to go, the race to the final four has tightened up. Tommy Hunt ( finished 4th) and Glen Chabotar (finished 2nd) continue to play well and use their high handicaps to advantage. Lazarchick (finished 7th) and Hamm (finished 6th) held on to their one, two positions, but Scotty Shaw with the victory has vaulted up with them. Mike Unger just needs to recapture his early season form, still very much in the hunt, sliding back just a little more (finished 8th ) Art Czachorowski (finished 5th) is now in striking distance and is famous for his late season charges. Charlie Ranucci (finished 12th), was under the weather at Greentree, could still steal a spot. Andy Swanson (finished 10th), along with Charlie, needs to Win Mays Landing.
