Featured Columnist Andy Reistetter is on site at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open at En Joie Golf Club in Endicott, New York. Endicott is one of the Triple Cities, along with Johnson City and the author's hometown of Binghamton. Here are his thoughts after the final round on Sunday, June 27th , 2010.  

The Sunday Shootout expected in the 2010 Dick's Sporting Goods Open happened early and often as five players surged to the top of the leader board during the final round.

 

Fred Funk tried to do to the leader as was done to him last year here in the Valley of Opportunity in Central New York State.

 

Though hobbling at times due to right knee replacement surgery, the defending U.S. Senior Open champion went out and shot a spectacular 7-birdie bogey-free 65 and was the first to post a score under 14.

 

Loren Roberts, after bogeying the par-3 17th hole, asked his caddie where he stood in the standings after drilling another drive long and down the middle with his new driver on the 18th.

 

His ears "perked up a bit" when he learned he was one of three leaders at 14-under par.

 

The remaining 125 yards was the perfect yardage for the now 12-time Champions Tour winner and the "Boss of the Moss."  He drained the 7-footer, his trademark left-to-right slider, for the birdie.

 

Safely in the clubhouse as the leader at 15-under, all he had to do was wait and rehearse his acceptance speech.

 

Third round leader Dan Forsman was cruising along with a three-stroke lead through 12 holes on Sunday afternoon at En-Joie Golf Club, a true municipal course in Endicott, New York.

 

After four birdies, it looked like clear sailing along the Susquehanna River for the two-time Champions Tour winner.
