Reifers shocks Nationwide Tour with Win
I almost posted about Kyle Reifers, a 2006 graduate of Wake Forest University, during the NCAA finals, but I never actually got around to it before the tournament was completed. But, after today’ s performance on the Nationwide Tour, I get my chance.
For those of you who missed it, Reifers posted a course record 61 (11-under) to win the Chattanooga Classic over Brandt Snedeker in a playoff. Reifers, who just turned professional a couple weeks ago, gets Nationwide Tour exemption for the rest of this season and the 2007 season. He also was the 11th player to ever win in his Nationwide debut and the 19th player to win coming through the monday open qualifier.
Reifers, a Dublin, Ohio, native comes from a renowned golf family in the Columbus area and I am sure that many of his friends and family are very proud of him tonight.
Congrats Kyle!!!
