Strong Play from Rob Grube and Zack Miller

Rob Grube (2008) quickly took advantage of the invite into the PGA Tour's Canadian Open after opening with consecutive 4 under par rounds of 66 to jump within 2 shots of the lead. Although rounds of 72 and 71 on the weekend took him out of contention, Grube's 5 under total for the event was good for a 37th place finish, a $19,890 check and a plethora of experience to draw on in his budding professional career.

Zack Miller (2007) also turned in a strong finish this week on the Nationwide Tour. Miller's four round total of 280 (-4) garnered a 12th place finish and a $16,960 check at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational. Miller increased his 2010 earnings to $76,533 and improved his position on the money list from 50 to 45. At year's end the top 25 on the money list earn a 2011 PGA Tour Card.

Also competing this past week was Jordan Cox (2010). In his second event on the eGolf Professional Tour, Cox turned in a 50th place finish after a four round total of 284 (-4) in the Forest Oaks Classic.
