Ryan Grassel birdied the first hole of sudden-death to edge his dad Rick, and Paul Dagys as the tournament was shortened to 27-holes

In Illinois, Ryan Grassel won a playoff against his father Rick and Paul Dagys after the three players posted 1-under. Had Kelly Grassel gone one stroke lower, the playoff would have featured three players from the same family, which would have been pretty amazing. ABOUT THE ZIGFIELD TROY OPEN “Bombers” need not apply. This is one tournament where precision iron accuracy and a sharp chipping and putting game are essential.
