Montgomery Bell Recap
Division 1 of the Nashville chapter delivered a tightly contested battle, with Matt Mitchell claiming the win at 2-under par after a steady round that mixed aggressive scoring with timely recovery. Mitchell’s card was highlighted by an eagle on the 5th hole, along with birdies on holes 2, 8, 13, and 17, helping him separate himself from the field in a round where every shot mattered.
Just two shots back, Dylan Cottrell finished runner-up at even par, turning in one of the most volatile rounds of the day with six birdies, including a strong start with three birdies in his first three holes. JP Brown stayed in the hunt all day and finished solo third at 1-over par, recording five birdies of his own.
Division 2 delivered one of the most dramatic finishes of the day, as Todd Schrock and John Stinson battled their way to matching rounds of 3-over par before heading to a sudden-death playoff. After both players matched each other on the opening playoff hole, Schrock sealed the victory in style by rolling in a birdie on the second playoff hole, earning the win after one of the most exciting finishes of the tournament.
Schrock’s round was a story of resilience. A triple bogey on the 5th hole could have easily knocked him out of contention, but he refused to let the round slip away. He steadied himself on the back nine and answered with birdies on 10, 13, and 14, then played mistake-free coming in to give himself a chance at the title — and when the playoff began, he took advantage of it.
Stinson made Schrock work for every bit of it. After a rocky opening stretch, he turned his round around with an eagle on the 5th hole, then added birdies on 10, 11, and 18 to pull even at the top. His late birdie on the final hole forced extra holes and gave him a real chance to steal the win, but he had to settle for a hard-fought runner-up after Schrock’s clutch playoff birdie.
Just one shot behind the leaders, Tim Ewing finished alone in third at 4-over par. Ewing played one of the steadiest rounds in the field, making birdies on 1, 6, and 18 while keeping big mistakes off the card. He stayed in the hunt all afternoon and was only a single shot away from joining the playoff.
In fourth place, TJ Tidwell posted 7-over par with a round built on patience. He avoided any major blow-up holes and kept himself in position throughout the day, then closed with a birdie on 18 to secure his spot in the top four.
Division 3 belonged to Todd Osinski, who separated himself from the field with a composed round of 1-over par. On a day when Montgomery Bell was giving players very little room for error, Osinski stayed patient and let the round come to him. He picked up birdies on 5, 7, 11, and 18, and each one seemed to come at the right time to keep momentum on his side. More importantly, he avoided the big mistakes that caught much of the field and turned that steady play into a five-shot victory.
Three players finished in a tie for second at 6-over par, each taking a different path to get there. Dusty Nowlin put together a gritty round that included birdies on 7 and 18, battling back after a difficult stretch on the back nine to secure his share of second. Todd Choate stayed in the mix all day with a steady card and a birdie on 12, overcoming a pair of double bogeys to remain near the top of the leaderboard. David Hackney also finished at 6-over, making birdies on 4 and 12 while grinding through a challenging closing stretch to join the tie.
Division 4 saw Chris Halcomb put together the steadiest round of the day, finishing at 7-over par to earn a three-shot win. On a course that was punishing mistakes all afternoon, Halcomb managed to mix in four birdies on 2, 4, 5, and 12, which gave him just enough separation from the field. Even with a few bumps in the middle of the round, he stayed composed coming home and closed out a well-earned victory.
Finishing in second was Alex Garcia at 10-over par. Garcia’s round was built on consistency more than fireworks, with his lone birdie coming on the 10th hole. He avoided the kind of big numbers that can quickly derail a round at Montgomery Bell and stayed in the hunt all day, securing solo second with a solid performance from start to finish.
Sid Pomeroy claimed third place at 12-over par, showing resilience after a mixed front nine. He opened with a birdie on the 1st hole, added another on 18, and battled through several difficult stretches to stay near the top of the leaderboard. His ability to finish strong helped him hold onto third by a single shot.
The battle for fourth ended in a tie at 13-over par between Christian Carpenter and Thomas Jones II. Carpenter grinded his way into the tie by avoiding major mistakes down the stretch, while Jones made the only birdie between the two on the 16th hole, using that late momentum to climb into a share of fourth.
Division 5 was a battle of persistence, and Michelle Martino came out on top with a winning score of 12-over par. On a day when clean scorecards were hard to find, Martino stayed in control and never let the course get away from her. Her lone birdie on the 8th hole helped steady the round, and she followed that with consistent play on the back nine to pull away for a four-shot victory.
Tied for second at 16-over par were Wyatt Lovell and Jimmy Murphy, each putting together strong rounds in different ways. Lovell battled through a difficult front nine but closed with a birdie on 18, giving him a late push into the runner-up spot. Murphy answered with a birdie of his own on the 13th hole, and despite a few costly holes late in the round, he did enough to earn a share of second.
The Mid-Am Net competition once again showed how competitive net golf can be, with several players turning in impressive rounds under a demanding setup.
Dusty Nowlin led the way with a winning score of 6-under net, putting together the most complete round in the field. He stayed steady from start to finish and made the most of his handicap strokes, stringing together key net birdies throughout the round to gradually separate himself from the pack.
Finishing in second was Todd Choate at 4-under net. Choate kept himself near the top all day and made his biggest move with a net eagle on the 12th hole, helping him secure solo runner-up honors just two shots behind the lead.
The Senior Net division was controlled by Todd Osinski, who turned in the low round of the day at 9-under net. Osinski played a remarkably steady round, taking advantage of his strokes throughout the day and piling up net birdies across both nines. His stretch from the 10th through the 18th, where he played well under net par, helped him pull away and finish seven shots clear of the field.
David Hackney finished alone in second at 2-under net, putting together a solid round that featured a net eagle on the 4th hole along with several timely net birdies. He stayed in red numbers for most of the day and was one of only two players to finish under par in the division.
The race for third ended in a tie at 1-over net between Eric Fleming and Wade Williams. Fleming recovered nicely after a slow start and used a strong middle stretch to work his way up the leaderboard, while Williams bounced back from an uneven front nine with several net birdies that kept him in the mix.
