Tom Nieporte (1966) – Mountain Ridge

Tom Nieporte carded final rounds of 67 and 69 to capture the Met Open by three strokes on a rainy and misty day at Mountain Ridge.  Nieporte’s most spectacular shot was a chip-in for par at the par-3 seventh hole after his tee shot landed near a bench at the eighth tee and his recovery left him short of the green.  He finished the 72 holes seven-under-par at 277.
