Glen Ellyn Golf Pro Jim Lazarko Finishes 4th
In the 2010 Illinois Senior Championship, local Glen Ellyn PGA Professional Jim Lazarko, finished 4th qualifying for the 2010 Senior PGA Professional National Championship, held October 7-10, 2010 at Toscana Country Club (Indian Wells, CA) and Rancho La Quinta Country Club (La Quinta, CA).
Under pristine weather conditions on Aug 2-3rd, Jim fired a 76-71 at the Biltmore Country Club and Barrington Country Club. When asked about his preparation, Lazarko indicated "As usual I always prepare extra hard for a special tournament. For this one, the focus was on my short game, especially sand play and putting."
It obviously paid off in the second round when Lazarko got off to a blazing start with 3 quick birdies and only 27 putts. Twice he hit the flagstick on his approach, leading to tap in birdies. On the back nine, he struggled a bit as he claims he "was not used to being so many under par and started to steer the club." So pro's even get nervous on the odd occasion.
Jim's next tournament appearance will be at Onwentsia, on Aug 16, 2010. While Jim is not playing in golf tournaments, he teaches golf for golfers of all ages and skill levels at The Village Links of Glen Ellyn. For those looking to schedule a golf lesson with Jim, email contactus@glenellyngolf.com.
