Former PGCC Star Wins OPGA Event

On a day where the field scoring average was just over 78, former Peterborough Golf and Country Club memeber Reggie Millage stuck to his game plan and won his first Ontario PGA Spring Championship. Reggie's round of 2-over-par was enough to secure a playoff with Danny King, who finished at even par for the day and the tournament.

On the first hole of the playoff Reggie hit his tee shot on 18 into the left rough. King hit a solid drive down the centre of the fairway. Millage's second shot which was over 200 yards from the green stayed under the tree line and ended up just short of the green. From an uphill lie King hit his second shot into the left greenside bunker. From the bunker, King hit his third to four feet. Millage hit his third shot to two feet and made his putt while King missed his.

"It was a grind today, but I knew par would be a good score," said Millage. "This is my first win on the Ontario PGA regular tour and winning against this caliber field feels great."

Millage is a former guest of On the Links Radio and we congratulate him on his victory.
