Cejka won a second consecutive mini-tour event on Sunday, claiming the Outlaw Tour’sParker Open. And while it’s not too surprising to see a guy who has won at the highest level winning at the, well, not highest level, the way he earned this victory was downright spectacular.

The 2015 Puerto Rico Open champ and four-time European Tour winner trailed Eddie Olson by six shots with six holes to play but went six under on his next four holes, including a hole-in-one. Poor Eddie never knew what hit him. Cejka actually needed to hole a 20-footer for par on 18 to get into a playoff before winning in extra holes.

Wow. We don’t care what tour that’s on, that’s golfing your ball right there.

Olson, by the way, had only been able to practice for the event by hitting golf balls in a park at his umbrella—an umbrella that was nearly stolen. True story.

Eddie Olson who lost in playoff today, had only been able to practice at a park leading up to event. He would place his umbrella at 100 yds to hit at. And while he was filming his swing….someone jumped fence and tried to steal his umbrella and he had to run them down..??? pic.twitter.com/1N57Lz8tRu

Again, poor Eddie. But you gotta love the Outlaw Tour.

Also according to Ryan French, AKA Monday Q Info on Twitter, Cejka earned a first-place check for $4,200. This after earning $5,000 at the Outlaw Tour’s Arrowhead Classic earlier this month. It’s not exactly the type of prize money a man with $20 million in career earnings is used to, but it pays the bills.

It’s also keeping Cejka’s golf game sharp, either for the PGA Tour’s proposed restart in June. Or the start of his PGA Tour Champions career after he turns 50 in December. You know, whichever comes first.

On Thursday, the Outlaw Tour staged the final round of its Western Skies Classic, and just about everyone who made the cut in the three-day event went low. Really low. There was a 59(!), two 60s, and a 61 carded at Western Skies Golf Club (in case you were wondering about the origins of the event’s name) in Gilbert, Ariz. The craziest part? None of those players won the tournament.

Instead it was Wil Bateman earning the victory despite only shooting 62. Bateman beat Jared du Toit, who was the 59 shooter, in a playoff, instantly making this the most disappointing 59 in golf history.

Afterwards, @Jareddutoit cited focus on battle with playing partner @brandondharkins (60) before realizing that 59 was in play.

On 18: “I got away with my tee shot. It finished close to the cart path. Had 105 yards in and hit a wedge to 6-7 feet.”

Harkins, by the way, is a former PGA Tour member who is currently No. 11 on the Korn Ferry Tour money list.

But back to the low numbers, that’s why they call it the Outlaw Tour, folks. WILD things happen out there. Or maybe it’s because like several mini-tours, they are continuing to hold golf tournaments despite all major sporting events in this country being cancelled or postponed right now due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Regardless, you get the point. There are a lot of good golfers out there. Turn pro at your own peril.
