Jatho Stayed True to His Word

Earlier in the day, we had the opportunity to talk with Ed Jatho, and one of the tournament staffers was trying to give Jatho advice on how to proceed in today's event. They told him that he could "probably sit back and make at least 6th place." Jatho looked at him and said, "Have you seen me play? Does it look like I am going to sit back and wait? No way!"

Jatho kept true to his word and played hard. Unfortunately he ended up finishing in 8th place.

Jatho did comment earlier that he would be happy regardless of where he finished. He is a stockbroker by trade, and any finish today would be a "great turn on investment."
