George Zahringer III won the Ike today, finishing with a 1-under 71 that was the best single round of the tournament.

When I talked to George yesterday after his first round, I asked him what he thought about his chances, all in the context of where his game was. What I didn’t ask, perhaps because I was too polite, was whether a 54-year-old man can outlast players half his age playing 36 holes in excruciating heat.

Today, Zahringer responded anyway.

Alex MyersAlex Myers
A sports reporter at The Journal News for nearly three years, Alex Myers has covered a bit of everything, but a lot of golf, ranging from the high school level to last year's U.S. Open at Winged Foot. His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
