Wyboo again produces exciting Golf

Every time the Charleston tour ventures up to Wyboo Golf Club, there is excitement and drama.  It is such a great setting for tournament play.

The Championship Flight started things off with some outstanding play.  Brian Quackenbush got it to 4 under par before finding some trouble on the final few holes but still finished at 1 under par.  His competitor, Elliott Johnson played his usual, solid steady game and posted 35-35 two under par 70 to tie Mike Cobb who was in the club house at 2 under as well.  These two took to hole 18 and after tying the first go around, Elliot stuffed it to 8 feet on the second playoff hole to capture the victory.

The A flight was a battle all day. The flight was all tied up after 15 holes by 4 golfers, Burns McBride, Mike Griggs, Tim Sumption and Eric Maland.  Eric took control with a crucial birdie on hole 16 to take a 1 up lead and held on for the victory.

The B flight had three golfers finish in the 70’s for the first time all year.  Glenn Eagerton had a nice lead coming down the stretch, but according to him, lost his driver swing.  Kyle Trotter and Jason Berringer both posted 79’s and were chomping at the bit to get in a playoff, but Glenn held them off with an outstanding 77 to take home his first victory of the year.

In the C flight, Thomas Lemense who has been and Iron Horse this year playing at every opportunity, ran away with a blistering round of 77. Congrats Thomas. Rounding out the top three were Michael Grooms and Bill Mcall who took third on a scorecard playoff over David Deese

The D flight also saw a very impressive round of 85 by Augusta’s Kelvin Hughes who outdistanced the field by 9 shots to cruise to the victory. Ted Deese and Danny Alexander rounded out the top three.
