Southern Pines, NC
(August 9, 2014) - While the Pros at the PGA Championship were
having their problems with the rain this weekend, so were the Golfweek Amateur
Tour members who tee'd it up today in the Southern Pines Country Club
event. Steady rain plagued the event throughout, but a few intrepid
golfers managed to keep their grips dry and turn in some solid scores, led by
Championship Flight mainstay Larry Hardee from Fayetteville. His even par
71 was the class of the field. Chapel Hill's Henry Lister was 3 back for
his second consecutive runner-up finish in as many weeks.
Fayetteville's Hollis
Peery managed to hold off Durham's Daren Green in the A Flight competition by a
single stroke. He was the only flight member to break 80 in the tough
conditions with a 79. The B Flight played from tees that were almost 300
yards shorter than their A Flight counterparts, which helped Whitsett's Greg
Martin to finish with a 78 and a 3-shot margin of victory over three
players: Pinehurst's Tom Kubla, Stokesdale's J. Combs, and Raleigh's Mike
Groom.
Tour veteran Howard
Williams of High Point had a comfortable 4-stroke margin over Durham's Elvis
Sheahan in capturing the C Flight crown with an 84, while Raleighs Chase Groom
was D Flight boss with a 97 - 2 clear of Piney Point, MD's Mike Charles.
Next stop for the Tour
will be Carolina Trace Country Club on 8/16. Openings are available.
