Foxfire Village,
NC (June 31, 2014) - Brandon Owen chose today at Foxfire
Resort - The Red Fox Course - to make his Tour debut on the Golfweek Amateur
Golf Tour. The long-hitting B Flight member from Zebulon started his Tour
career off on the right foot with a victory in his first start. Not that
it was won easily. After he and Fayetteville's Lanzo Wallace posted 79s
in regulation play, they headed out to determine a winner in a sudden-death
shoot-out.
Wallace is no
"pushover", having already won a Major Championship this season at
Seven Lakes Country Club last month, but Owens prevailed with a simple par on
the first extra hole.
Another Fayetteville
golfer, Larry Hardee, continued his excellent play in the Championship Flight
with a 1-over 73 that earned him a victory. Mark Seagroves of Vass
finished a strong 2nd, just 1 shot behind.
In the A Flight
competition, Chapel Hill's Henry Lister also enjoyed a 1 shot margin with a 75
for the win, but he had to outdistance a trio of opponents - Raleigh's Rob
Reynolds, Sanford's Jason Watkins, and Mark Cobb from Hope Mills.
Kurt Bryant, also from
Hope Mills, had a 2 shot cushion over Fayetteville's Johnny Sears in taking the
C Flight crown, 83 to 85. The largest margin of victory in any flight
belonged to Raleigh's Chase Groom with a 92 in the D Flight, as he outdistanced
Mebane's Frank Mitchel and Mike Charles from Piney Point, MD by 7 shots.
Next stop for the
Golfweek Tour is next Saturday, June 7 at Bryan Park - The Champions
Course. There openings available for that event.
