Gunnarsson victor in Corey Haim Memorial
Tied at 4 under headed for 14, Gunnar Gunnarsson floored the gas pedal and accelerated to a solid four-stroke victory in the Corey Haim Memorial Tournament. The disc golf tourney, held annually, commemorates the acting immortal Corey Haim, who disappeared shortly after filming Dream a Little Dream 2 in 1995.
Over the last four holes, Gunnarsson operated like a boxer-six engine in a Porsche Carerra, smoothly maneuvering into putting position as if he were parallel-parking a Mini-Cooper. On 18, Ross' aggressive 22-foot birdie attempt sailed past the hole like a senior citizen missing the lefthand turn into the Kroger parking lot. The resulting bogie and Gunnarsson's birdie biased the results like Consumer Reports dinging GM products.
After a litany of automobile metaphors, the pair called it a day with a final toast to acting genius Corey Haim.
-6 Gunnarsson
-2 Ross
