Gravley & Webber Claim Playoff Victory

Mike Gravley and Todd Webber are victorious at the 25^th Annual SCGA Four-Ball Championship after  defeating the teams of Jim Burgess & Frank Ford, III and Stan Sill & Tim Pope in a three hole playoff.

Even with winds constantly gusting throughout the day, Gravley & Webber began their day on fire, accumulating birdies on five of the first eight holes before bogies on holes 9 & 10. They quickly composed themselves to finish their round with all pars for the last 8 holes to help join the playoff contention with a final round score of 3 under par 69. After battling through three playoff holes, the duo became victorious with a birdie from Gravley.

This victory marks the second SCGA Senior Four-Ball Championship for Gravley, as he won the championship back in 2011, and the first for Webber.

Michael Teem and Joe Roller teamed up to shoot a two under par score of 70 to win the First Flight.  In the Second Flight, there was a four-way tie for first between the teams of Jim Eskew & Doug Smith, John Easterling & Steve Fuller, Bob Kinsey & Nelson Raimondo, and Marion Moore & Frank Wrenn with each team respectively having even par rounds of 72.
