We had 63 players tackle the brutal windy conditions on Tennessee’s top 10 rated course Tennessee National. We had some great battles throughout each division. We had a shotgun start with the D1 players going off the back nine first.
Division 1 had 8 players battling hard throughout the first 9 holes with Eric King leading by one over Anthony Stout and Matt Crowder one two back from the leader. Eric King played steady all day coming on strong over the final 9 holes with a –1 to hold on for the win at +1 73 to best the field.
Division 2 Had some of the best battles of the day with 15 players. Blake Benson took control of the early lead with Jerry Burrell right on his heels. The pair swapped the lead several times over the final 9 holes but it was a 60 ft birdie putt on the last hole and Jerry Burrell drained it to take a one-shot victory over Blake Benson. Jerry Burrell was +4 76 and Blake Benson +5 77.
Division 3 Had 14 players and Rick Collier put on a show leading wire to wire over new member Danny Booth. Rick Collier shot a very impressive +6 78 with newest Tennessee East member Danny Booth at +12 84 followed by Randy Redden +15 87.
Division 4 Had 11 players with Daniel England getting his first victory leading wire to wire with an impressive +12 84, Jason Anderson finished second with a +20 92 and Robbie Carlton +22 94.
Division 5 Had 15 players go to battle with Andrew Larsen pulling off the victory over new comer Tony Williams. Andrew played a solid round at +22 over par 94 to hold off Tony at +26 over par 98.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the next event on April 23 at Woodlake Golf Club in Tazewell, TN
