Don Donatello is one of the thousands of very good players who, despite their talent, desire and work ethic, never get to tee it up on the PGA TOUR. In the end, some gain 'inside the ropes' access the only way they can . . .
With a dig-deep 2-under par 34 on the final nine, John Riegger is done at 71, even for the day and -10 (currently T19) for the tournament. This is a fine tournament for John -- he beat 137 of the world's best players and today made seven birdies.
On to Milwaukee!
P.S. Here's some exciting 'insider' news that will be of interest to LBG regulars: Our own Hennyboganhttp://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/f...play.php?f=119 is now on John's bag. This is a great first week for the dynamic duo, and we wish them all the best in the coming weeks.
Proof positive that nice guys can -- and do -- finish first!
Congratulations to our LBG field (4.3 percent of the cut): Jay Williamson (T2 / $369,600); Brian Gay (T12 / $79,800); and John Riegger (T18 / $52,920). Thanks guys: It was fun watching you compete 'down the stretch' at the pinnacle of the game!

Lynn, will Jay make the trip to the Open Championship?
Chartered by the John Deere tournament committee to enhance the quality of their field, the jet is ferrying 23 professionals and their families from the Moline-Quad Cities Airport to Manchester, England, and Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
Jay's biggest problem is going to be getting his passport in time for the flight. He had planned on being in Milwaukee next week and didn't bring it with him!
