TERRA ALTA, WV — In most unimpressive fashion, Mehul 'Patio' Patel, got his first green jacket on Saturday.  "It wasn't pretty the whole way," said Patel after taking over possession of the jacket from last year's Loozer, Pedro Domaoal.  "When Pedro withdrew at the last minute I knew I was in trouble," added Patio.

"I really got thrown off my game in round one when everyone kept referring to me as "Sheiker's Caddy", and it was all down hill from there.  Probably the most frustrating outcome of the weekend was that I could not finish ahead of a single white person."

Patio managed one bright spot to his weekend, taking home the 2003 Best Line Award.
