Timmer wins Ricardo Montalban Invitational
The schizophrenic weather -- heavy gusts of wind followed by absolute stillness and calm -- seemed to rattle the professionals participating in the sixth annual Ricardo Montalban Invitational. Despite an uncharacteristic series of shaky drives, Warren Timmer survived to close out a two-stroke victory.
A triple bogie on five prevented Ross from getting closer than a stroke. He and Gunnarsson battled for second place until 17, where an ugly incident involving a tree, a rabid weasel, and a can of Crisco hamstrung Gunnarsson's efforts. Jay Nadel's unconventional new "battle-ax" throwing style kept him in contention until the back twelve. While he didn't end up in the money, Nadel did find a unique proctological monocle during the round.
Timmer's prize: a 1981 Chrysler Cordoba LS (yes, I said an LS). Fully loaded and plushly appointed with rich Corinthian leather -- the Cordoba was provided by Buck Sawgrass Chrysler-Jeep-Pontiac-Hyundai-Kia (open Sundays, noon 'til six!).
