The Championship Flight delivered plenty of drama at Sleepy Hole Golf Course as it took a playoff to determine the champion.

After carding a 77, Mike Hartselle finished his round in spectacular fashion, rolling in a birdie to secure a spot in a playoff. Hartselle then carried that momentum into extra holes, where he secured the Championship Flight title and another impressive victory.

 

Finishing as the runner-up was Dennis Nelson, who also posted an outstanding 77, pushing the tournament beyond regulation before coming up just short. It was a fitting finish to a fantastic day of competition at Sleepy Hole, with two of the Tidewater Tour's top players battling until the very end before Hartselle emerged victorious.

 

One of the final players to arrive before the 8:00 a.m. shotgun start, Jimmy Lewis proved that timing didn't matter once the round began. He put together a terrific performance, firing a 77 to earn a convincing three-stroke victory and collect the full 450 Tour points.

 

The battle for second place ended in a tie, with Birds Alingig and Kevin Martin each posting solid rounds of 80 to earn 250 points apiece.

The two competitors headed to the picturesque 18th hole, where Huff emerged victorious to claim the B Flight title and the coveted 450 Tour points.

 

Finishing alone in third place was Paul Herrin, whose solid 82 earned valuable points in the season standings.

Just one shot back, Harry Taormina and Connor Phillips shared fourth place after each carded an 83, collecting 170 Tour points apiece.
