30th Annual SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship
The Patriot Golf Club
Ninety Six, SC
October 7-9, 2011
Branyon Claims First Major
Josh Branyon made up a two shot deficit with a final round of 71 for a two under
par 214 score and a one shot victory in the SCGA's Mid Amateur Championship.
Playing in the next to last group, the 32 year old Honea Path native remained
steady on a day that consistent winds made it difficult to do. Making the turn
at one over par for the day, Branyon made no mistakes on the back nine making
seven pars and two birdies. The most crucial birdie came on the last hole, a 500
yard par five, which proved to be the difference in edging out second round
leader Eddie Hargett and 2009 Champion Marcus Grumbles. Branyon's victory is his
first in a SCGA Major Championship.
Finishing tied for fourth was Bluffton's JD Hoft and Greenville's Jeremy Revis
at even par 216.
The 2012 Mid Amateur will be conducted at the Forest Lake Club in Columbia, SC.
The 2011 SCGA Mid-Amateur Championship was conducted on the par 72 ~ 6,815 yard
Patriot Golf Club course in Ninety Six, SC. The field consisted of 115
individuals playing 54 holes of stroke play and was cut to the low 60 and ties
after the second round. The Mid-Amateur is one of 19 Major Championships
conducted by the South Carolina Golf Association and is in its 30th year of
existence.
