Sun City Carolina Lakes - Recap
111 golfers took part in the the initial tournament on the local Charlotte Calendar over a soggy track at Sun City Carolina Lakes. I'd like to thank not only the local tour players, but also those players that came from the Augusta, Central Carolina, Philadelphia PA Metro and Columbia Tours to keep our sell out streak going. We had a lot of great battle across most flights with most flights coming down to just 1 or 2 shots.
Championship Flight
Dennis Reames shoots 3 under 69 to begin the 2020 season in stellar fashion. Starting on the par 5 3rd hole, he dunked his 3rd shot in the hole for an Eagle 3. What a way to start!. He also added 5 birdies later in the round to win by 2 shots. John Malone, new member for 2020, was second at 1 under par 71. Kyle Garcia takes 3rd shooting even par 72 and winning a scorecard playoff. This was Kyle's best ever round on the tour. Adam Arnett, new member , takes home 4th with another round of even par 72.
A Flight
Don Hasen breaks through for his first victory on tour. Don's round of 75 was good enough for a 1 shot victory. Johnny Moffett, takes second with a round of 76.
