The Charleston Tour made their way up HWY 17 to Georgetown to take on the Wedgefield Country Club. The weather was great and the scores reflected it!
In the Championship Flight, Phil Pfeiffer grabbed a two shot lead on the front 9 over three other players. He coughed that up with a quick double bogie on the short par 4 tenth hole only to rebound with three additional birdies on the back 9 to secure a two-shot victory over Michael Huh, 74-76.
The A flight saw some stellar play as this produced our first playoff of the day as James Devito and Sean Kenneck both fired rounds of 3 over 75. The first playoff hole produced some stellar play as Sean won it with a birdie as James lipped out! Or something like that. Congrats guys those were great rounds, Mark Ducker, 79, rounded out the top three
The B flight had some fine play as well, as Tidewaters Guy Briesacher made the trip down south worth it by posting a very nice round of 79. He and Crys Peyton (81) were battling it out all day but Guy sealed the win with a birdie on his second to last hole. Cory Crews rounded out the top three with an 85.
The C flight saw a first time winner this year in as Brandon Hall played one of his best rounds on tour. After a shaky front 9 Brandon bounced back with a 2 over par 38 on the back 9 for a three-shot victory over Brandon Long. William Brigman from the Eastern tour rounded out the top three.
The D flight was probably the most exciting flight as Ted Deese, Cleve Johnson and Jason Olsen all fired 88’s to tie for the lead with Columbia’s Vincent Love finishing one shot out of the playoff. The three took to the course and all tied after the first hole. Jason Olsen’s solid par on the difficult 11th hole secured the victory. Ted and Cleve both shot the same on the back nine so it came down to the last 6 holes with Ted edging out Cleve for second place money!
Our next Event is May 10 at lake Marion which is in excellent shape. Please sign up early for this as we have limited spots!!
