Michigan Golf Classic

Michigan Golf Classic

The Michigan Golf Classic was a tournament on the PGA Tour that was played in September 1969 at the Shenandoah Golf & Country Club, a par-70, 6,708-yard course in Walled Lake, Michigan. The event was won by Larry Ziegler, a 30-year-old from Bonne Terre, Missouri, and was his first PGA Tour win.[1] He defeated former University of Houston star Homero Blancas with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.[2][3]

Red-faced Tournament Supervisor George Walsh shocked the players when he revealed that the sponsors of the fledgling tournament said they didn't have enough money to pay all the prizes.[4] Players had been promised a total purse of $100,000 with $20,000 and a new car going to the winner.[2][3]
