After his successful performance the Buick Open, where he closely tied for 2nd, Woody Austin claimed his fourth top ten finish of the 2008 Tour at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois.
He started off well by scoring 66 in the first and third rounds, and 69 in the final round and then finished with 272.
Austin is one of six players who made an eagle at the par 4 14th hole during Sunday’s final round. His “game has been picking up”, according to PGATour.com’s Groups We’re Watching article and he is “always capable of putting on a good show.”
Be sure to follow the Sandler Training Golf Team next weekend as Austin hopes to keep up his performance at the British Open Championship in Lancashire, UK, where he will be joined by teammate John Rollins.
Sandler Training Golf Team star John Rollins fought through a stomach ailment over the weekend at the AT&T National near Washington, D.C. His gritty play included an opening round 68, two under par, which he shot despite the heat and the need to pump fluids to avoid dehydration.
Now Rollins is packing his bags for the British Open July 17-20 at the Royal Birkdale. John qualified for the historic Open by firing an eight under par after 36 holes at a qualifying event in Dearborn, Mich.
His British Open qualifying round followed a top 10 finish at the Buick Open, where fellow Sandler Golf Team star Woody Austin tied for second.

Sandler Training Golf Team stars Woody Austin (tied for second) and John Rollins (tied for ninth) played tenaciously at the 50th Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Mich. Both players received widespread national media attention and plaudits for their outstanding play.
Woody’s Buick Open performance marked his third top-five finish this year. This moved him up the ladder from 18th to ninth in the standings for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, where he was called “the heart and soul for the Americans at last year’s Presidents Cup team,” according to PGATOUR.COM.
At the Buick, Woody fired a six under par 66 on the opening round and wowed the crowds in Michigan with an eagle and 16 birdies in the tournament. “I’m hitting the ball where I’m supposed to,” he told PGATOUR.COM. “I hit the first eight greens in a row and had birdie chances on five of them…”
John Rollins’ ninth place finish was his best yet in the 2008 PGA Tour. He shot an eight under par 64 on the second day and seven under par 65 in the final round. “I made a bomb there, really from nowhere to kind of get me started,” he said of his sixth hole birdie on the last day.
PGATOUR.COM noted that Rollins “has enjoyed his two best weeks of the year in terms of Driving Accuracy. Rollins hit a season-best 53 of 72 fairways (73.61 percent) at last week’s Travelers Championship. This week, Rollins topped that by hitting 58 of 72 (80.6 percent) en route to his best finish of the year.”

This weekend, Sandler Training Golf Team star Brian Bateman travels to Grand Blanc, Mich., scene of his 2007 victory at the Buick Open.
Brian will be joined by Sandler Training Golf teammates Woody Austin, John Rollins and Omar Uresti. Over the weekend at the Travelers Championship, John shot a six under par 64 in the second round, followed by a third-round 68.
Following last year’s triumph at the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club, Brian commented, “It’s been a life-changing week. A life-changing putt.” He was referring to the climactic moment on the 18th green, when he sank a birdie putt that earned him a one-stroke victory. That winning stroke averted a playoff with a trio of PGA players that included Sandler Golf teammate Woody Austin.
Sandler Training Golf Team member John Rollins finished in the Top 50 at the U.S. Open, including a headline-grabbing second round 68. Rollins’ three-under par performance included four birdies. Sandler Training teammate Woody Austin also competed hard at Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, California.
Sandler Training Golf Team member Omar Uresti posted another Top 25 finish over the weekend in the Stanford St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tenn. Uresti’s performance—featuring a second round 69, one under par—was his second consecutive Top 25 finish on the PGA Tour.
In May, Uresti was called “on fire” after shooting a seven under par round at the AT&T Classic in Georgia, good enough for a Top 20 performance.
At Stanford St. Jude, Sandler Training Golf teammate Woody Austin also placed in the Top 50.
Now it’s on to the U.S. Open Championship at Torrey Pines Golf Course-South in San Diego, where Sandler Training stars Austin and John Rollins battle for the top spot. Austin and Rollins qualified for the 108th U.S. Open after ending the 2007 PGA Tour in the Top 30 money list.
