Stars aligned: Walter Vargas, who was the Griffith Observatory Championship’s inaugural winner in 2007, became the event’s first 3-time winner; it was his first win at Roosevelt since 2011. His 44 was his best score in his last 4 starts at Roosevelt… That’s Two: Vargas collected his 2nd win of the season, adding to his Devil Ball win in September… Tweet-Tweet: Tim Joe collected the $6 birdie pool ($2 rolled over from the Masters) after making birdie on the 335 yard par-4 fourth; he jumped from 6th to 4th on the all-time birdie pool earnings list, surpassing P-Jay Fidler and Walter Vargas… Milestones: Sunday was Vargas’s 120th career start and today (the 28th) the 19-year Tour veteran turns 53… Small-some: a lone foursome made up Sunday’s field, the lowest in tournament history.
