Wvnstone Golf Club, North Barrington, Illinois . June 5, 1995
No TROUBLE IF YOU DIDN'T LOOK FOR IT
On the scoreboard at Wynstone Golf Club, under the name
Associated Banc-Corp, shimmered the four winning numbers :
74-73-72-70 . They were by far the neatest, most consistent

set of net team scores ever to win a
SkyTel U .S . Corporate Golf Championship
regional qualifier . Two-time U .S . Open
winner Curtis Strange, who was on
h<strong>and</strong> at the Midwest regional for a
morning clinic, then roamed the course
taking a few swings with each group,
would surely sign for those numbers
before the next Open <strong>and</strong> take his chances .
But they belonged, respectively, to Nick
Conlon, Mike'_biahlik, Gordon Weber
<strong>and</strong> Tom Walsh . And the $3,000 firstplace
cash award those scores earnedalong
with matching funds-belongs
to the Boys & Girls Club of Milwaukee .
Riding over from Green Bay for their second appearance
in a Midwest qualifier, the Associated gang took advantage
of perfect golf weather <strong>and</strong> "did what everybody tells you to
do," according to Walsh . "We stayed out of trouble ." Gordon
Weber looked back at his round <strong>and</strong> thought first of the
chunked wedge shot that squirted into a creek <strong>and</strong> set up
his double-bogey 7 at No, 3, which is a bona-fide birdie hole .
Heck, what else would st<strong>and</strong> out in a round that otherwise
consisted of four bogeys <strong>and</strong>-count 'em-13 pars?
Walsh, Weber's playing partner
. was a paradigm of consistency, shooting 86 gross, 70 net, <strong>and</strong> carding nothing
higher than a gross 6 . He even made two birdies in a row,
sinking 10-foot putts on both the fourth <strong>and</strong> the fifth holes .
Then, at No . 6, he called on his short game to limit the damage
from a semi-shanked approach shot to a mere net bogey .
The other Associated twosome, Conlon <strong>and</strong> Mahlik, played
close to their respective h<strong>and</strong>icaps of 11 <strong>and</strong> 13 without
attracting much attention . Their pairing with Robert Burian
