COLUMBUS, OH — With 70 days left before the completion of the On Tour Championship, Greg Long is in the home stretch playing his last rounds of the season.  After playing in eastern Pennsylvania two weeks ago, he traveled south on Sunday to Kentucky for a round at Old Silo Golf Club.

He now travels on Tuesday to West Virginia for his 8th major championship.  Golfapalooza begins Thursday after he plays two practice rounds on Wednesday at Alpine Lake Resort in Terra Alta, WV.

"I believe that is 24 rounds with only 1 in Ohio," says Long.  "Most of my rounds are Spackler business and pure retirement.  I enjoy the fresh faces and researching future venues.  I expect my retirement from Ohio golf to remain active for many years."

The Red Zone Alert completes in 37 days.  Jim English is leading the On Tour Championship with 48.7 points per round.
