The Battle for the Homestead IV was held this past weekend and several Richmond Golf Channel Am Tour Players fared very well representing themselves and the Richmond Tour with some outstanding play.
(Click on players name to view full scorecards).
In the Championship flight Ryan Clark had a stunning come from behind win by firing a 1 under par (69) round on Sunday at the Cascades course. Ryan came from 5 shots behind for the victory.
In the Palmer flight Shawn Watkins, bolstered by stellar 2 under par (70) round on Saturday at the Old Course continued his fine play at the Cascades Sunday to hoist the trophy. An Eagle on the par 5 16th hole helped as well.
In the Sarazen flight, Mel Imad punched his ticket to the National Championship Tournament with the help of a low second round (82) at the Old Course on Sunday to move himself into a 2nd place finish.
In the Senior Jones flight Peter Socha (83) and Ken Cherry (82) both took advantage of the scoring opportunities on Sunday at the Old Course to qualify for the Golf Channel Am Tour Senior National Championship in Palm Springs. Socha finished 2nd while Cherry came from back in the field to finish 3rd.
Although already qualified for the Senior National Championship, Jay Corazza's low round of the day (75) in the Senior Palmer flight gave him a 3rd place finish in the at the Homestead.
Playing in his very first Golf Channel Am Tour 2 day Major was good experience for Tim Ritter and "ONE" he'll never forget. Standing on the scenic 180 yard par 3 finishing hole at the Cascades, Ritter would make 1 final stroke to finish his tournament. With the Hole in One, Tim not only picked up some nice skin money but also made a nice haul in the Feherty's Troops First 50/50 program, where a $500 donation was also made to the charity in his name.
Nice going Richmond Tour Players!!!
Now it's on to Irvington on June 27, at King Carter for the Rappahannock Open on the local Richmond schedule.
Hope to see you there/
