Klughart beats his idol at the Men’s Lobstick
Prince Albert’s Danny Klughart picked up his third Men’s Lobstick championship at Waskesiu Golf Course this Saturday, having already won in both 2017 and 2013.
But this year’s title will be even more special for Klughart, as he defeated Delisle’s Colin Coben in the Championship Flight match play finals to win. Coben was inducted into the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame in 2012 after a storied amateur career and dominating the provincial scene, and has always been somebody that Klughart looked up too.
“That’s a guy I idolized growing up,” Klughart said. “We’ve had quite a few head-to-head matches that kind of went either way. Especially out here, he gets it around so well and putts so well up here. I knew I had to bring my A-game today.”
Klughart certainly did, he had a four-hole lead after the first four holes. He was able to hold onto that lead and end the match with an impressive 25-foot birdie putt on hole 15 for the championship.
