Vince Sheehy Sinks 30-Foot Putt to Win Kemper Pro-Am
WANADA Chairman Vince Sheehy calls it my one minute of golf fame, as Channel 9 TV news was on hand to record him sinking a 30-foot putt in dramatic fashion on the 18th hole to tie and eventually win the Kemper Open Pro-Am Tournament at Avenel, May 28. Sheehy was playing in a foursome with golf pro Steve Stricker, and coming into the final hole we could see from the scoreboards that we needed a net eagle to win” said Sheehy. I knocked it to about 30 feet from the pin, Stricker helped me read the hole just right. The winning putt and an interview with Channel 9 sportscaster Jeff Atkinson made the 11 oêclock news that night. Despite playing pretty good golf, Sheehy added with a chuckle, You will probably never see me on a golf highlight film again.
