Nashville Tour Finals Results

[read_time]

The Hermitage Golf Course was the site of the Nashville Chapter’s Local Finals on the General’s Retreat course.  Weather has been a factor in the majority of the tournaments at the end of this season and we did not escape it this weekend.  But, we were able to get all 36 holes completed, decide tournament champions as well as award Player of the Year for all five divisions as well as Senior Net. 

In Division One, two players from the Birmingham Chapter, Jordan Smith and Jonathan Spann were tied at-the-top after Satruday’s round, both posting even par rounds of 72.  Sitting one-stroke back was Ernest Rickey with his +1 round of 73.  On Sunday, Cary Anderson had the round of the weekend, posting a 4-under round of 68 to fly up the leaderboard and claim 2nd place.  Smith posted a stellar round as well, finishing round with a 3-under 69 to capture first place by two strokes.

In Division Two, Tennessee East Chapter member, Johnny Pierce dominated the tournament from start-to-finish.  In round one, Pierce posted 2-under 70 to take an insurmountable lead into the final round.  He backed up his round with a +1 round of 73 to win by 7 strokes.  Dan Estes takes home 2nd place with a two-day total of 150 (77-73).  John Hipp captures 3rd place after sitting in a 7th place tie after round 1.  His 3rd place finish propelled him to win the Player of the Year in Division 2.

In Division Three, a playoff was needed to decide a winner.   Hunter Smith, Kevin Smith and Jake Lavin all finished round 1 tied at-the-top with rounds of +9 81.  David England rounded out the final Division 3 foursome for round 2 with his +10 round of 82.  Hunter and David battled to a tie at the end of 36 holes; both finishing with two-day totals of 159.  Both headed out to start a playoff, but were called back in as heavy weather rolled in.  After the delay, England scored the victory on the second hole of the playoff.  Finishing in a tie for 3rd place, James Newkirk and Jerry Drewry both ended with two-day totals of 162.  With his second place finish, Hunter captured Player of the Year honors.

In Division Four, was a battle that would decide who would be crowned the Player of the Year.  After round 1, David Smith, who posted 81, held a one-stroke advantage over division leader, Will Houston and Birmingham Chapter member, Benny Shepard.  In the end, Seth Kaltrider, who sat 4 strokes back at the start of round 1, posted his best score ever with a round of 77 and won 1st place.  Houston maintained his position, finishes in 2nd place and secured Player of the Year.
