Jonathan Cox & Ryan Greer kept their winning streak as a two-man team going and put an end to another streak in the Smoky Mountain 2-Man Scramble. Their smooth 10-under (62) back-to-back rounds was good enough to hold off Todd Ricker & Sasha Catron who were three-for-three at Smoky Mountain when combining the Mountain/Berry and Scramble wins. At the beginning of the round on Sunday, after fighting a day of occasional drizzles on Saturday, Greer & Cox were tied with Bodie Bible & John Bernard of Greeneville. While Bible & Bernard slipped to a 64 on Sunday, Ricker & Catron improved by one shot for the second place finish.
Cox & Greer will be focusing their attention on the River Islands 2-Man Scramble next weekend where they are the defending champions.
Freshman Walter State golfer Caleb Whaley joined forces with the "Boss of Moss" at Smoky Mountain, Mr. Jim Fred Ramsey to win the First Flight by two shots over former Knox Country 2-Man Champions Glenn Makin & Wayne Zenner as well as Smoky Mountain locales Joey Bradshaw & Mike Hill. Ramsey & Whaley birdied the last three holes to come from one down while Makin & Zenner slowed to a par pace the last five holes. Bradshaw & Hill eagled the par-5 13th and birdied two of the last five to finish tied for second.
In the Second Flight locales Jerry Messer & Mike Shelton found the flat side of the putter on Sunday to improve by eight shots for a three shot win over Dwayne Yarbrough & Todd Douglass. Smoky Mountain owner Cecil Gilland and Kenny Brown landed in a tie for third after improving one shot over Saturday. Chuck Mason & Barry Clevenger improved by seven shots to pull even with Gilland & Brown.
The Third Flight featured a shoot-out between three teams pushing each other to the limit as Jason Williams & Bob Kesterson, one-up going into the round, shot a seven better 66 on Sunday to stay one-up on Jeff Webb & Mike Jones and Fudd & Whitney Ball who also posted 66 rounds.
The Burchetts, David & Brad finished tied for first with a one-under 71 on Sunday to save-off the fast charging team of Randall Copas & Tommy Haynes. Terry & Jake Quinton fell short by one shot to land in third place.
Competitors looking for a fair game, need look no further than the Smoky Mountain tournaments. Owner, Cecil Gilland divided the field into five flights and paid well above average to the prize winners for a 60% of the field payout. Golf News Superintendent of the Year, Shannon Shelton was also on top of his game as the greens were healed from aeration and running smooth.
The next Smoky Mountain event is May 17-18, the 2-Man Scottish Lowball. Call the pro shop for details and registration.
