Shustrich birdied the par-3 third hole plus double-dipped with the pin shot there. He took home $150 for the skin and $35 for the pin shot, enough to move him into 5th place on the Greater Cleveland Skins Game Leaderboard.

Mark Foss grabbed the other pin shot on the 6th hole, also earning $35. Then the skies let loose with a down pour after that, and the game became a 6-hole event.

Moving into the fifth spot on the leaderboard is big for Shustrich, as there are only two more weeks before the mid-season mark, at which time the top 5 players earn exemptions into the 2009 Greater Cleveland Amateur Golf Championship at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Brecksville in August.

Next week the Greater Cleveland Skins Game moves to Powderhorn GC in Madison, where players can enjoy a great rate of $13 riding and $6.00 walking on a course that is typically in excellent condition. Please thank the course management for extending this great rate.
