Scott R Chilcutt, The Woodlands, TX (June 13, 2016) Low scores were the theme of the day, with soft conditions and consistently rolling greens at The Golf Trails of The Woodlands, Panther course for the special Monday event.
George Smith picked up the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving with a net - 7. The winner of the Feherty's Troops First Foundation 50/50 raffle, took home $390, bringing the year to date total from the Texas Tour local events to $8,310 contributed to the Foundation.
RESULTS:
Championship Flight: League City, TX, second time player, Blake Wilson only had a few blemishes on his scorecard and when he made bogey he backed it up with a birdie. Add an eagle at the par 5 - 9th and Wilson, carded a -4 / 68 to command his first win on tour. Noah Purvis, in his tour debut, matched Wilson's birdies with five on the round, but the double on the par 4 - 1st proved to be the difference, finishing two strokes back. The Woodlands, TX, local Matthew Winters rounded out the top three.
Palmer Flight: Tyler Logeman of Montgomery, TX, picked up his third win on tour and second of the points season. With three birdies on the round, Logeman slid into a seven stroke advantage over the pair of Houston players, Justin Castillo and Vince Scudiero shared the runner up finish with five birdies between the two.
Senior Palmer Flight: Orange, TX, member Ernie Dyer carded his sixth win on tour and first since his promotion to the Senior Palmer Flight, after his Senior National Championship run in 2014. Down two strokes making the turn, Dyer put a +2 together coming to the clubhouse to win by four strokes over Robert Corbello of Vidor, TX, and Houston, TX, first year member, Jim Penn.
Hogan Flight: Jorge Rodriguez, made the trip from Round Rock, TX, worth his while, grabbing his National Championship qualifying third win on the season, after Houston, TX, player Mike Karlin, got into trouble on his final hole. Karlin, would settle for the runner up finish one stroke back, and two strokes ahead of third place finisher, Matt Wolfe of Groves, TX.
Senior Hogan Flight: Three players came to the clubhouse feeling pretty good about +2 - 74's only to find out it would take extra holes to settle the score. Out on the first playoff hole, Mike Hafner of Katy, TX, with two birdies on his round would be assured of splitting the second and third place points. Magnolia, TX, member, George Smith was next out, on the second hole, Smith carded four birdies on the day after a rough start. With a par on the second playoff hole, Kevin Turner of La Porte, TX, picked up his third win on the season, adding another Senior National Championship qualification to his T3 less than a month earlier at the Triburon Amateur Major Championship.
Sarazen Flight: Eddie Thomas of Richards, TX, started the round with a birdie on the par 4 - 1st and never trailed for his second win on tour and the season. After a rough start, College Station, TX, resident Judson Severson, got things together on the back nine to jump into the runner up finish. Wayne Waldrep, of Spring, TX, equaled Thomas on the front nine, but just couldn't keep the momentum, settling for the third place spot.
Senior Sarazen Flight: Denver Tour traveler, Arjun Sen, of Centennial, CO, equaled his career low score 77, with the help of a pair of birdies to pick up his second win on tour. Four strokes back, L.P. Jones of Houston, TX, with three birdies on his round and Cypress, TX, member Larry Murphy, with a couple of his own, shared the runner up finish.
Jones Flight: Montgomery, TX, player John Pickens was able to shift a shifting schedule around to grab his third win on the season and Senior National Championship qualification. Pickens finished four strokes clear of runner up Neil Macdonald, of Huntsville, TX, with Montgomery, TX, resident Jeff Gregory, rounding out the top three.
Snead Flight: Javier Quintero, became another three time winner on the season, by only a single stroke, after runner up finisher Carl Eaton, of Conroe, TX, carded the only birdie of the day on the par 4 - 18th hole.
