The Charleston Tour finally kicked off the season after a couple weather delays earlier in the year and what a way to kick off the year.
The Champ flight was a battle down to the last hole as Mike Cobb finished with a one shot victory over Phil Pfeiffer and B.J. Hill. Mikes clutch par on the 18th hole proved to be the difference.
The A flight saw Mason Axline open his tour career with an impressive 2 shot victory over Sean mason. Mason posted a very impressive round of 75 to Sean’s 77 while Gavin Genther finished one-shot in back of Sean with a very smooth round of 78.
The B flight saw Wes Mahaffey fire a very steady round of 83 to finish one-shot up on Johnnie Cooper who posted a very solid round of 84. Hilton Head’s George Lepine and Brad Boyd tied for third with George taking the scorecard playoff.
The C flight had Hilton Heads Charlie Sherwood finishing first and heading home to only find out his score finished in first as well!! There was actually a tree-way tie for first place but due to the start time and daylight savings, the scorecard playoff was implemented for this tournament. Charlie, Marlin Morris and James Ravenel all finished tied with Charlie taking first place and Marlin taken third.
The D flight saw tour veteran Cleve Johnson and new comer Jonathan Blackwell also tie for first with Cleve taking home the first place prize via the scorecard. Brent Westbrook rounded out the top three.
Chris Hall took advantage of one of the many perks of the Tour. He traveled down to Mount Vintage in North Augusta to take on a great track and a field of 18. At the end of regulation, Chris was tied with Paul Gandy and preceed to an oncourse playoff where Chris used his steely nerves to prevail.
