Timby and Stoker Medal at Public Links Qualifying
POMPTON PLAINS, N.J. – Tom Timby of Mercer Oaks Golf Course and Evan Stoker of High Bridge Hills Golf Club both fired a 1-over par 70 to claim medalist honors today in the second qualifying round for the 89th NJSGA Public Links Championship at Sunset Valley Golf Course in Pompton Plains.
Timby was the runner up for the championship in 2014 at Neshanic Valley Golf Course. The event was a learning experience and has been a motivator.
"I played this championship at Neshanic (Valley) a few years back and lost in a playoff, so i'm excited to get back there because I need to avenge that loss," Timby explained.
He finished his front nine even (36), before carding in an essential birdie on the back nine for a total of three birdies.
“This is a tournament I have been playing for years and I just love the way the NJSGA runs this tournament. Anytime you can put your name on any type of New Jersey State Golf Association trophy it’s obviously a big deal.”
Timby, Stoker and 13 others now advance to the 89th Public-Links Championship at Neshanic Valley Golf Course on August 16th.
This was the second qualifier in a series of three in the upcoming month.
