ALAMEDA, California (April 29, 2007) -- Rick Reinsberg not only defended his title today at the Alameda Commuters, he has turned the last five years of the tournament into his own, winning four of the last five playings of the traditional 72-hole event.

Reinsberg won this one in dramatic fashion, coming from six strokes behind with a 5-under 65 in the final round to overtake 54-hole leader Mike McRae of St. Mary's College. McRae shot a final round of 72 to finish tied for third with Garrett Wagner.

In the Senior Division, Gary Vanier of The Olympic Club played steady rounds of 70-69 to overtake round one leader Mark Miller of Antioch. Miller shot 72 in the final round to finish alone in second at 140, while Herb Jensen was third at 141.

ABOUT THE Alameda Commuters

What's in a name? In the case of the Alameda Commuters Championship, the logo of the almost 100 year old tournament would be a dead giveaway. It's a steam ferry, which was the only way to "commute" to San Francisco from the East Bay before the Bay Bridge was built. Started as an informal event -- the original first prize was a bag of nails -- the tournament has grown into one of the top independent events in California.

A dedicated tournament committee prides itself on running the two weekend, 72-hole competition as if it were a PGA Tour event. Two of the best public courses at the city-owned Chuck Corica Golf Complex are prepared with care. Slick greens, Sunday pins, and even that rarity in amateur golf – spectators are all part of the fun. The roped-off scoreboard is a particular area of pride for the "green jackets" who were wearing dark green blazers before they were made popular by another tournament you might be aware of in Augusta Georgia. The 250 player championship division is cut to 50 and ties for the second weekend, at which time the 36-hole senior division tees off to join them.
