Championship Flight Winner : Keith Myers- Roanoke

4 Piedmont Virginia Senior Amateurs Punch their Tickets to National Finals

4 Piedmont Virginia Seniors Punch Their Tickets to National Tour Finals

Nellysford, Va.

May 22, 2012

                Temperatures in the low 80’s on a sunny day, coupled with a great golf course in excellent condition led the way to some very strong competition at Stoney Creek Golf Club of Wintergreen Resort today. This was the 1st of 4 ‘Majors’ that the Piedmont Virginia Senior Amateur Tour will run for its members this year.

                In the Championship Flight; Keith Myers of Roanoke won his 3rd tournament in a row. His previous 2 victories came while he was competing in the A flight. This was his first tournament since his promotion up into the Championship Flight. He proved immediately that he was ready for this promotion. It was not an easy task as it took a birdie on the first hole of a sudden death playoff to seal this win. Phillip Clay of Evington; had birdied 3 of his last nine holes of regulation to force the playoff with a 76 tie with Myers. The #1 hole had given up no birdies and only 4 pars all day. After both players had hit long straight drives and reached the green in regulation; Clay 2 putted for par as Myers sank his 4’ birdie putt for the win.

                Frankie Smith of Lynchburg came from 2 strokes back making the turn to shoot a 76; beating out a fellow Lynchburg native Jim Gaddy by a single stroke in A Flight action. The two reversed their scores and positions from their last tournament at London Downs keeping their competition fierce.

                The B Flight was captured by a very consistent Raymond Rice of Hurt with a 82. 3 golfers finished tied for second with 87’s. After matching of cards; Wayne Crupi of Alexandria took 2nd while newcomer Irving Carter and Sammie Moser both from South Boston finished 3rd and 4th.

                C Flight saw Bart Truesdell of Huddleston edge out another Huddleston participant Chauncy Drewry by 2 strokes; 96 to 98 for his second victory in a row.

                “ Being a ‘Major Championship’ means that every one of the 4 Flight winners today ‘ punched their qualification ticket’ to the year ending National Tour Championship that will be held in Pinehurst in November. That event is slated to draw the Top 300 Tour members from the 13 Tours that stretch up and down the East Coast”, said Tour Director Kenny Powell.

                The Senior Amateur Tour has next week off for Memorial Day and will resume play on Tuesday June 5th at Olde Mill in Laurel Fork. There are openings left for that event. Sign-up by May 29th. at www.senioramateurgolftour.net  Piedmont Va link.
