Quincy, Mass.-Through the first nine events of the season, the Cleveland Golf Tour welcomed nine different champions. Todd Westfall extended that streak to ten, capturing his second career Tour victory with a five-shot triumph in the season-ending Granite Links Open. Westfall shot a closing 66 and finished 15-under to rally past overnight leader Mike Harris, who faded with a 74 despite birdying his final five holes.

Rob Oppenheim shot a day low 66 to finish fifth. His seventh top 10 of the season clinched player of the year honors and the $4,500 PGA Tour qualifying school tuition check, snapping Geoff Sisk's three-year reign. Sisk tied for 30th at 2-over, his worst showing this season and first over par finish since last year's Captain's Open.

Westfall birdied two of his first three holes and shared the lead with John Connelly and Frankie Graziosa at 10-under after nine holes. Harris slipped to 3-under total after playing a seven-hole stretch 7-over, beginning at no. 6. Westfall then broke the three-way tie-permanently, with birdies on five of his final eight holes, two of which came on putts over than 30-feet.

"A lot of guys were breathing down my neck and I was able to put together a stellar back nine. It was a very fulfilling day. I'm on a career high right now."

Winds in excess of 30 miles per hour battered players for the second consecutive tournament. Oppenheim seemed impervious each time. He carded a 66 in the final round of Vermont National when the field averaged 76.72 and carded nine birdies in this week's final round to jump 17 places on the leaderboard.

"I seem to play well in windy conditions," said Oppenheim, . I like when the golf course plays tough. It was a great season. I enjoyed playing out here. It was a good summer."

John Connelly, whose son, John, Jr., caddied for him all season, finished second, a season best. Ditto for Frank Graziosa and Steve Sokol, who tied for third.

Quincy's Mike Welch, a NAIA All-American at Johnson & Wales, shot 72 and tied for 34th at 3-over in his pro debut.

The season-ending Granite Links Open marks the completion of the Tour's fifth year as New England's only professional golf tour. Tournament purses and field size increased 20% since the 2004 campaign, continuing a trend that first began in the Tour's inaugural season.
