About Bob Rittberger (2010) – Bethpage Black

Bob Rittberger parlayed consistent play, three rounds of 71 in windy and often rainy conditions over the Black Course at Bethpage Park to earn a spot in a three-hole aggregate playoff with Danny Balin who played more erratically, shooting rounds of 69-76-68.  Rittberger birdied the first playoff hole, while Balin missed the green for bogey. After bogeys by both on the next hole and a missed birdie attempt by Balin on the third hole, Rittberger had the title in hand. Met Amateur Champ Evan Beirne finished 3rd.
