On Thursday August 11th, Central Carolina Senior Amateur Golf Tour made their way to Graham to tackle The Challenge Golf Club. Cloudy conditions helped keep the temperature down, and made for a pleasant day of golf.

In the Champ flight, John East put together a consistent front nine shooting even par. After a couple of minor hiccups on the back, John birdied four of the final five holes to post a one under par 71 for the win. Kevin McDougald placed second with a score of 77, while Joey Moffitt carded 81 to take third. 

Jamie Branham shot 76 in the A flight collecting the victory by two strokes. Bob Dail and Ben Wheaton shot identical 78’s as they finished T2. Coung MIKE Ton took fourth place shooting 79, as Dan Anthony rounded out the top five posting a score of 80.

In the B flight, James Demyan carded 4 birdies on the back nine to shoot two over par 74 in victory. Runner up Gene Jones posted 76, while Rob Andrews grabbed the third place spot posting 77. Fourth place was filled by Michael Broadway with a score of 80, while Eddie Jaggers fired 81 to round out the top five.    

Eighteen holes of golf couldn’t produce a winner in the C flight as James McPherson and Rus Rilling finished regulation play with scores of 82. The sudden victory playoff started on hole one. The players tied the hole and continued on to hole two where James rolled in a par putt Rus was unable to match. Ed McNally finished in third place posting 84. David Swimm carded an 85 to take fourth, and Levin Touchton from the Charlotte Tour shot 86 rounding out the top five.
