Collins had some hiccups coming down the stretch. Sam Starnes of Monroe, NC played consistently throughout the first round and was the 1st round leader with a score of 73(+1). The final round the players dealt with rainy conditions and open the possibility of players making a run from behind. The back and forth ended up with a victory by Hope Mills, NC Chip Collins with a 2-day total of 150(+6) to win by 1 shot over Sam Starnes. Collins also claimed the Senior Double Dip victory as well.
