LYNCHBURG, VA — "My uncle says you've got a screw loose," Lacey Underall said to Ty Webb. Along with Ty, Trent Cooper thinks her uncle molests collies and "salmon" golf shirts are high profile.

Trent Cooper won the inaugural Ms. Lacey Underall sash, ear rings, and crown at the 2008 Carl Spackler Open by a landslide. He returned to the 2009 Carl Spackler Open with his pink logo hat and ready to start creating a team of "pretty boys".

Cooper quickly ruled out the Boland's, Long's, Mineweaser, and Tim Davis. He narrowed down his list to Mike Davis, a.k.a. Gumby, and Jason Watson.

Watson eventually won the Award due to his daily color matching underwear. He wore the sash and crown and received a pink logo baseball cap.

"He truely earned it," says senior member Jean Dore. "He has been dressing too pretty for too long. His underwear and 'Paula Creamer shoes' must be recognized as part of the tournament. Cooper has done well."

Jean Dore suggested the award creation back in Brooklyn, MI. He returned to Peru, IN in 2008 with the sash.

Cooper was asked for his thoughts on the future of the award. "This is going to be presented to only the prettiest of golfers," said Cooper. "We are not just going to hand it out because it needs to be distributed every year. I am looking for someone that earns it. Watson is a great add to my team of pretty boys."

The 2009 Carl Spackler Open Championship is now in the books. Preparations for the 2010 Open have begun with Lagnua Vista scouting in October 2009. Scouting for a backup plan in Canada or New York will continue through July 2009.
