Jones, Yenser, Rothaus, Fieger answer the call in Senior Four-Man Team Championship win


   Michael Nilon of Philadelphia Country Club had recruited Christopher Fieger to replace John LeBouef on what had been a winning foursome in the Golf Association of Philadelphia’s Senior Four-Man Team Championship two years ago.
   Then the 69-year-old Nilon had to go find a replacement for himself when it became apparent that a bad back was going to keep him on the sideline. There are so many old guys that can still really play in this area – and Nilon knows most of them. He got in touch with Brian Rothaus of Five Ponds Golf Club and another winning team was born.
   With Fieger and Rothaus joining the holdovers from the 2016 champions, Buck Jones, like Fieger playing as a Philadelphia Publinks Golf Association representative, and Jim Yenser of Raven’s Claw Golf Club, the quartet put together a 13-under-par 129 total at Blue Bell Country Club Thursday in the two-best-balls-of-foursome format and claimed the title in a scorecard playoff with two other foursomes.
   The 55-year-old Fieger of Denver, Lancaster County, is the younger brother of Gene Fieger, who dominated the Philadelphia Section PGA circuit in the mid-1990s as an assistant pro at Overbrook Golf Club and shows up on leaderboards in national club-pro events all the time these days from his base as the director of golf at Club Pelican Bay in Naples, Fla.
   Chris Fieger was one of the top players in District One at Strath Haven when I was covering high school golf at The Mercury in Pottstown in the 1980s. Apparently, he can still play a little.
   Fieger fired a 4-under 67 over the 5,826-yard, par-71 Arnold Palmer design at Blue Bell. The 67-year-old Jones of Collegeville nearly shot his age with a 2-under 69, The 62-year-old Rothaus of Huntingdon Valley carded a 2-over 73 and the 57-year-old Yenser of Birdsboro added an 8-over 79.
   The foursome started on the back nine and they were hot early, going 9-under on Blue Bell’s back side. That turned out to be decisive when the back-nine scores were utilized as the tiebreaker.
   The foursome of Christopher Clauson of LuLu Country Club, Edward Erickson of Makefield Highlands Golf Club, Ray Pyontek of Mercer Oaks Golf Course and Gregory Buliga of Yardley Country Club went 8-under on the back and the Little Mill Country Club quartet of Bill Cregar, Thomas Hyland, Carlos Ochoa and Joseph Roeder was 4-under on the inward nine. They were the other two teams that also came in at 13-under 129.
   Fieger and Jones got things started for the winners when both birdied the par-3 10th hole. Jones and Rothaus both birdied the 14th, Jones rattled of two more birdies at 15 and 16, giving him three straight, and Fieger birdied 17 and 18.
   The team got one last two-birdie hole at the par-5 seventh as both Rothaus and Yenser had good eagle looks after reaching the green in two before settling for easy two-putt birdies. Fieger capped the team’s winning effort when he reached the par-5 ninth hole in two by blasting a hybrid 216 yards and two-putted for birdie.
   There weren’t as many birdies on their back nine – the front side at Blue Bell – but there were no bogeys either and those hard-earned pars had as much to do with the team’s success as all those birdies did.
   “There weren’t a ton of putts falling on the back for us and we had a few lip-outs that should have gone in,” Rothaus told the GAP website concerning the foursome’s final nine holes. “But we also had some solid pars, so I felt good to contribute those.”
   Finishing alone in fourth at 12-under 130 was the Merion Golf Club group of Bill Cherpek, Robert Harrington, Gordon Jameson and J. Kirk Luntley.
   The Commonwealth National Golf Club foursome of John Alterman, Jim Gavaghan, Thomas Krug and John Nottage and the Rolling Green Golf Club quartet of Richard Holstein, Jon Lavin, Bennett Meyer and Steve Meyer shared fifth place, each team carding a 10-under 132.
   The Wilmington Country Club foursome of Robert Hackett Jr., Thomas Humphrey, Donald MacKelan and Steven Walczak finished alone in seventh at 8-under 134.
   Two more teams – Brian Corbett of The Country Club of Scranton, Robert Gill of Fox Hill Country Club and Jim Fronzoni and Bill Lydick of Huntsville Golf Club and Arthur Jacoby of Philadelphia Cricket Club, Tom Mastroni of Sandy Run Country Club and Matthew Bellis and Alan Van Horn of Commonwealth National – shared eighth place at 5-under 137.
   Rounding out the top 10 were four teams tied for 10th at 3-under 139.
   They were: The Schuylkill Country Club foursome of Dennis Campbell, Eric Lamm, Dan Sippie and Tim Wood; Robert Frankil of Bellewood Country Club, Marty Dorminy of the Philadelphia Publinks Golf Association, and James Prendergast and Steve Tagert of Spring-Ford Country Club; the Indian Valley Country Club quartet of Dwight Dudas, Jim O’Brien, Bob Stawasz and Anthony White Jr.; and the all-star group of Neil McDermott of Llanerch Country Club, Carl Everett of Merion, Michael Rose of Talamore Country Club and five-time reigning GAP Super-Senior Player of the Year Don Donatoni of White Manor  Country Club.
