TERRA ALTA, WV — Bill Kolibash hopes he and Jason Watson can resume their successful golf at Golfapalooza this week, as the only two players who continue to shine year in and year out.

"Kolibash is the most underrated player in the field," Watson said on Monday as he prepared for the opening round of this week's Golfapalooza Championship at Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta, WV.  "What other player could place 2nd in the last two MELC Championships so quietly."

"We'll see how everything feels this week, but I hope that Kolibash and I play together. It's something we'll have to look at this week -- see how Kolibash plays, see how players like Brent and Boland are feeling after hours of poker," said the 29-year-old.

Randy Watson on the other hand is a man on a mission to repeat as champion.  Nobody in Golfapalooza history has done so.  "It's tournament-style contains plenty of alcohol and anything can happen when Jager is mandatory at the 1st tee", said Kolibash.  "Randy is a great guy that always brings his A game.  Only late poker games and alcohol can effect his chances."

Golfapalooza starts this week with a field of 26 players.  The 54-hole tournament will be published online and weather is predicted to be sunny with mid-60 temperatures.  Weather for the perfect major championship.
