Two Teams Tied Atop Leaderboard at Mid-Am Four-Ball Championship
The teams of Kevin King (Bluffton) & Todd White (Roebuck) along with Ben Karns (Johns Island) & Patrick Townes (Mount Pleasant) are tied for the lead after both teams shot a first round score of nine under par 63 at the SCGA Mid-Amateur Four-Ball Championship being held at the Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw, SC.
The team of King and White combined for nine birdies to take an early lead as they teed off in the early portion of tee times. King and White are no stranger to capturing titles and they are in position to grab another. King captured the 2019 SCGA Senior Championship along with being inducted recently into the South Carolina Golf Hall of Fame and White captured the Carolinas Match Play Championship victory in June. Karns and Townes provided fireworks throughout the afternoon by combining ten birdies, seven pars, and one lone bogey throughout their round to sit in a tie at the top with King and White. The two teams hold a one shot advantage over five other teams heading into the final round of the Championship. The 2019 SCGA Mid-Am Four-Ball Champion team of Jordan Sease (Lexington) and Brandon Truesdale (Rock Hill) are just two shots behind and will look to repeat as champions.
The final round will begin at 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning with the leaders teeing off at 1:11 p.m.
