A nice breeze made
conditions bearable for the Williamsburg Open on Saturday July 20. With a heat
index of 103 (down from 111 the previous 3 days), the Marsh Hawk course at
Fords Colony saw players from the Richmond Golf Channel Am Tour contesting for
trophies, gift cards, and the all important “Bragging Rights”, in the 11th
tournament of the 2013 season.
A huge Thank you goes
out to Fords Colony for being able to host the tournament on such short notice.
Originally scheduled for Stonehouse the event had to be relocated and a very
suitable replacement was found at the Marsh Hawk course.
Players found out
quickly that the Marsh Hawk course was one that they needed to have their “A”
game ready for, as the tight tree lined fairways demanded precision accuracy
off of the tee, and the many water hazards had to be carefully negotiated.
CHAMPIONSHIP
FLIGHT
Jonathan Howard definitely brought his “A” game as the Tour Rookie made his way around the course with an outstanding score of +1 (73). Following Howard in the standings were Troy Yeager 2nd and Jim Davidson 3rd. Jonathan Howards record on Tour is unblemished, with 2 starts and 2 wins to his credit.

SARAZEN FLIGHT
Speaking of dominate performances, Ronald Velasco once again reigned supreme with his 3rd win of the season in the Sarazen flight (after a move up from Jones). Although this time it was not as easily done as it seemed. A crippling penalty on runner-up Mel Imad at the start of his round was the difference in the 1 shot margin of victory for Velasco. Jerry Jones finished 3rd only 1 shot back of Imad.

JONES FLIGHT
Three Williamsburg natives topped the leader board in the Jones flight for the Williamsburg Open, but it was Luke Carpenter who left little doubt regarding the outcome. Carpenter build a slight advantage over runner-up Peter Socha on the outward 9 holes and continued to widen the margin on the inward nine to post an excellent score of 84. Vincent Sarro finished 3rd.

SNEAD FLIGHT
Maury Gatewood seems to have acquired a taste for the sweetness of Victory. A Tour member since the 2008 season, Gatewood had never won on Tour until this season, now he is becoming a constant fixture in the “Winners Circle”, posting his 4th victory of the year on Saturday. Finishing behind Maury were Jamie Iannelli 2nd, and George French 3rd
