26th Lefty Righty & 31st Lefthanders Championship

Liebler and Willis Capture Lefty Righty, Sill Wins 12th Title

Santee, SC- Steve Liebler of Irmo and Craig Willis of Blythewood took advantage of the Lake Marion Golf Course and won the 26th annual 2002 Lefty Righty Championship by a one stroke margin. It took a birdie on the 36th and final hole to close out Stan Sill and Arthur Yex, both of Spartanburg. Stan Sill followed his opening round score of two under par 70 with a five under score of 67 to capture the SCGA Lefthanders Championship. This was Stan Sill’s fifth consecutive Lefthanders title.

Willis and Liebler combined for six birdies on the back side to tame the 6460 yard par 72 Lake Marion Golf Course. Liebler capitalized on a bunker shot that he fired to within three feet on the final hole, which left him with a short birdie putt and eventually a one shot victory. The two combined to shoot a blistering 15 under par 129 for the 36 hole event. Sill and Yex also birdied the final hole but it left them one shot short of the title, unable to surpass Liebler and Willis.

Stan Sill continued his domination of the Lefthanders Championship by posting a score seven under par 137 to win the title by six shots. His second round score consisted of six birdies, an eagle and three bogeys. Sill’s championship entitles him to an exemptions into the SCGA State Amateur Championship coming up August 1-4. Sill defeated Brian Lee of Blythewood and Robert Dargan of Columbia both finished with a score of one under par 143.
