301 Zerus Imperial Namurian Open
Belshenthre Golf Club, Belshenthre, Namuria

BELSHENTHRE, NAMURIA ----- Pancho McFEELEY used the final round of the Zerus
Imperial Namurian to keep his star shining bright on the IGT, shooting a steady
3-under-par 68 and holding off Michael GALINHEIRA by one stroke to win. 

``It has been a good year and winning this week is extra special because of the
way I played last week,'' McFeeley said. 

Last week, he missed the cut in Utania after playing two of his worst rounds of
the year. 

``To come back the next week and be able to do this, it's obviously a bonus and it
just shows that when I put my mind to it and really work hard, I can turn it
around pretty quick,'' the former Hillel Düsenkill Grand Champion said. 

The San Patrician took charge from the start with birdies on four of his first
seven holes to separate himself from the field. He bogeyed No. 17, but calmly
rolled in a 3-foot putt at No. 18 to clinch it. 

The victory was his second this year, and fifth of his career. 

Such numbers scream best in the world, but Mc Feeley stopped short of that. 

``I might be one of the five best players in the world, but there are a lot of
great guys out here. I don't know, they are physically more talented,'' he said
humbly, but in his usual mercurial manner. 

``I just think there are a handful of people that are just better than everyone
else. That's just life. You can look at that in any sport.  I will keep chopping
away and hope to be amongst them.'' 

McFeeley may not be close to challenging David HAVRILLAK for No. 1, but he surely
seems well on his way to re-taking his place among golf's elite players. 

``How close?'' Galinheira scoffed when asked about McFeeley' proximity to the
elite. ``I and many others have considered him an elite player since the
beginning, and rightfully so - five wins on the IGT, what more do you need?'' 

Starting with a two-shot lead, McFeeley immediately birdied the first hole, and
then the third to put some distance between himself and the field. After a bogey
at No. 4 left him just one ahead of Ray BARTRIM, McFeeley quickly birdied two of
the next three holes and was on his way. 

He reached 15-under at No. 7 with his fourth birdie and never was challenged until
Galinheira made three late birdies to get to 14 under. 

The Ordlander opted not to return to the 18th green after signing his card,
preferring to get the play-by-play on McFeeley' play on TV. 

``It's probably easier to just stay in that trailer where nobody is looking at
you,'' Galinheira said, laughing at himself. ``Then when he makes par you can
slump down and say, `Darn,' and the camera is not on you.'' 

Galinheira didn't miss much. McFeeley' drive split the fairway on the final hole,
his approach hit the green and he two-putted from 35 feet. 

Galinheira started the tournament with a double-bogey, and was thrilled to have
made a run. 

``I was very relaxed this week, and I think that helped me in a lot of ways, just
staying patient,'' he said. ``I wasn't sure how I was going to play.'' 

McFeeley won $630,000 to move back to well within the top-10 on the money list, a
place where most of his colleagues would now agree he belongs.

Galinheira rebounded from a bogey at No. 11 with birdies at Nos. 14, 15 and 17 to
get second by three shots. Westho ZINRANDRIA was bogey-free until he missed a
5-foot putt on the final hole, dropping him into a tie for third with impressive
rookie Sisophone THRUSA, III. 

Thrusa was bogey-free in a closing 67.  The Ansonian rookie has been most
impressive since his debut, outdone only by his compatriot Jeffrey HOVANEC.

``That will be huge,'' the Ansonian said about possibly getting into the top-50.
``My No. 1 goal starting this year, was to play my way into the top-100... and
now, I have revised it to the top-50.'' 

Rugro BILAU was fifth after a birdie-birdie finish gave him a 67, and Draconian
amateur Polixenes UTRECHT was sixth after making two bogeys in his last three
holes.
