Eight isn't enough: Van Galder still gets thrill out of winning city golf title

Aug. 2—JANESVILLE — The Chicago Bulls have their six NBA titles. The New England Patriots have their six Super Bowl championships.

Janesville's Sam Van Galder has both those storied professional sports dynasties in his rear-view mirror—and he isn't anywhere close to being done yet.

On Sunday at the Janesville Country Club, Van Galder won his eighth Janesville Men's City Golf Tournament championship, carding a 1-over 73 that was more than good enough for a four-shot victory over Madison's Nick Corban.

With the win, Van Galder takes over sole possession of second place on the all-time list, bypassing Gregg Clatworthy and Chris Pastore, who were tied with Van Galder at seven wins entering this year's event.
