GREENWICH, Conn. - Danny Balin had a week to remember. The Greenwich assistant golf pro from Burning Tree Country Club helped Team USA run away with the 25th Annual PGA Cup. He also <a href="http://www.nikeshoesusa.com"><strong>discount nike </strong></a> made the Top 10 plays on "SportsCenter" with a hole-in-one&nbsp;and then came back home to win some more hardware. Balin, the featured instructor in Main Street Connect's "Golf Tip of the Week," hopped a red-eye flight immediately following the PGA Cup champions dinner in California to arrive just in time to play in the Lincoln Metropolitan PGA Championship in Harrison, N.Y.&nbsp;If Balin was exhausted, it did not show in his play. The 29-year-old came from behind to edge Connecticut Open champ Frank Bensel with a 2-under (208). Balin nearly ran away with the title after posting a 3-under on the front nine on the second day of play. He came back to Earth on the back nine, however, and Bensel made a run. In the final round, Balin sank an <a href="http://www.nikeshoesusa.com"><strong>cheap brand shoes </strong></a> eagle on the par 4 eighth hole. He played evenly for the rest of the day, outpacing Bensel, who was 3-over on the final nine. Follow Eric Gendron on Twitter for the latest MSC-Fairfield County sports coverage.
