Spackler Rankings Released

May 22, 2007

JACKSON, MI — The national Carl Spackler Open player rankings were released this week representing the career performance. Jason Watson topped the list with four Top 13 finishes in 6 years. Brian Long is hot on his tail with three Top 16 finishes in 4 years. Jay Glover and Mike Watkeys have a strangle hold on this year's Crapper Award.

The criteria for making the career rankings list is at least 3 years of attendance including this year.

The final position on the leaderboard for each golfer is converted into a percentage based on tournament field size. These leaderboard positions are averaged over a career with the each tournament getting an slight edge over its previous tournament.

"We have two dog fights this year," said Mike Davis. "A run for the roses and a run for the crapper."

The 2006 Crapper Award Winner, Matt Pritchard, is not safe either. He is bubbling just above Watkeys and Glover. "There is nobody really safe unless you are in the Top 20," says Gumby. "The list presently includes 38 golfers."

Mike Watkeys placed 48th in his last tournament wearing the Carl Spackler Outfit. He found 17th position at Thunder Hill with 32 participants. He found 15 position in a tournament field of 18 in 2002.

Jay Glover wore both Outfits in Raleigh and placed 47th at Mountain Valley with 68 participants.

The largest surprise on the list continues to be Bob Morris. His inability to perform at the Carl Spackler Open has baffled many. "I am personally hoping for big things from Bob this year," says Pat Boland. "He cannot blame jet lag this year."

The Career Rankings List includes Michigan attendees with 2 years of prior attendance. There are 6 past attendees with at least three tournaments not attending the 2007 Carl Spackler Open Championship.
