His trademark headphones long gone, the man still known as "Disco Dick" strutted to victory on the course where he earned the nickname a decade ago.
Former BYU golfer Richard Zokol finished at 19-under-par 269 to win the Greater Milwaukee Open on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory."This tournament is very special to me. This is where Disco Dick debuted - the first time I got into contention on the PGA Tour," said Zokol, who earned $180,000.
After three-putting for bogey on the par-3 17th, a two-putt par on 18 gave Zokol, 34, a round of 5-under-par 67 at the 7,030-yard Tuckaway Country Club course.
Zokol remembered a different GMO on the same course, when he led the tournament after three rounds in 1982, his first year on tour but finished in a tie for fifth.
Zokol entered the final round Sunday one stroke behind third-round leader and defending champion Mark Brooks. A triple-bogey by Brooks on the final hole cinched Zokol's victory.
Dick Mast finished second at 17-under 271, while Brooks, Dudley Hart and Tom Lehman came in at third with 15-under-par 273.
The GMO is the first official tour victory for Zokol, who had an unofficial PGA win at the Deposit Guaranty Classic in April. He recently placed 39th in The International and 48th in the Buick Open.
In Springfield, Ill., Laura Davies shot an 8-under-par 64 Sunday to take a one-shot lead after two rounds of the $450,000 LPGA Rail Charity Classic.
One stroke behind are Betsy King, Rosie Jones and Michelle McGann. Jones, the first-round co-leader, shot 68, while King had 66 and McGann 67.
In Grand Rapids, Mich., Gibby Gilbert finished with a 3-under-par 68 to capture the Senior PGA Tour's $400,000 First of America Classic on Sunday.
