AMBRIDGE, PA — Rob Fustich, who escaped two outfits in Winston-Salem just over 1 year ago, continues to struggle in the On Tour Championship.  Fustich shot season-high 98 strokes at Cranberry Highlands while playing only 6,000 yards.

"It was disappointing," says Fustich.  "Cohen does not help either.  His 116 was not exactly something to pick a player up."

Rob finished with 5 triple bogeys. He was asked about whether fatigue set in on the back nine. "I am not a strong man," says Fustich.  "But to say that I cannot get through a full round of golf is ridiculous.  Where do you guys get this stuff?  It was one round of golf.  My statistics should prove fatigue is not the norm."

Cohen finished with his 2nd best round of the season shooting 31 points and a disasterous 41 putts.  "This guy could drop 10 strokes off his game with a little putting lesson," says 2005 Golden Rod and Stroke Winner Greg Garrett.  "He probably just needs to stand up with his head over the ball.  I would also suggest keeping his head down even after the putt and don't look up until you think the ball has stopped rolling."

Cohen and Fustich currently hold positions of 67th and 68th in the On Tour Championship.  Fustich has reportedly not violated the Red Zone Alert with 71 days to go.
