Greensboro, NC
(August 2, 2014) - Playing in only his 2nd Tour event today at
Forest Oaks Country Club, Matt Lewis from Drexel Hills, PA took home his first
trophy glass after firing a 75 - the lowest round in the entire event. "I'm
probably going to play an event pretty soon with the Philly Golfweek
Tour", stated the A Flight member. "I'm heading up there later
this summer".
Lewis needed every good
shot he hit, edging 16 - year Tour veteran Tracy Beaman by a single
stroke.
The B Flight also
produced it's share of low scores with Raleigh's Mike Groom posting a 76.
He too won by the narrowest of margins as Stokesdale's J. Combs and Raleigh's
Richard McMinis were both a single shot back.
The C and D Flight
winners keep up the low scoring trend with relatively comfortable
victories. Kernersville's Andy Bousman, a C Flight runner-up in last
week's Chapel Ridge event, had his second consecutive Tour low round with an
83. James Lingo of Rocky Mount was 6 strokes back. Meanwhile Greensboro's
Keith Thomas continued his excellent play this season with an 89, 3 shots
better than Richlands, VA's Greg Dotson to grab the D Flight crown.
While the winning score
in the Championship Flight, posted by Greensboro's Jared Jewett, was a 77, it
should be noted that the top flight played from tees that were almost 500 yards
longer than those of their counterparts in the lower flights. Once again
the competition was fierce, as Jewett just outdistanced Chapel Hill's Henry
Lister and Gibsonville's Neal Faulkner by a single shot.
The next stop for The
Golfweek Tour is Southern Pines Country Club (also known as The Elks Club) -
the original Donald Ross design in the Pinehurst area. There are openings
available for that event.
