2011 Open Winners Announced
To say that Alan Grieve has a passion for hickory clubs is an understatement. The Queensland Australian native was the first person to sign up for the U.S. Hickory Open Championship and traveled more than 36 hours and nearly 10,000 miles to participate in the event at French Lick Resort in southern Indiana.
The 39-year-old captured his first hickory championship this week on the resort's historic Donald Ross course. Grieve shot rounds of 75 & 75 for a 36-hole total of 150 and a 5-shot victory over Rick Woeckener from Fredericksburg, Va. A record field of 81 players from 27 states, as well as Canada and Australia, braved record heat (heat index of 114 on Tuesday) to compete in the fourth U.S. Hickory Open.
The U.S. Hickory Open is one of six events in a Championship Series presented by Mountain Valley Spring Water. The others include the Southern 4-ball Hickory Championship, in Birmingham, Ala.; the Heart of America in Omaha, Neb.; the Mid Pines Hickory Open in Southern Pines, N.C.; the Belvedere Hickory Open, in Charelvoix, Mich.; and the Mountain Valley Hickory Open(to be determined), Ark.
