 Greenville County Golf Association Director Robbie Gravley presents Leon Gravley Memorial Cup to Trey Bridwell. Former Blue Ridge golfer wins by record 11 shots.... In most years things are tight and tense on the back nine of the Powerade Greenville County Am. Today it wasn't who was going to win, it was by how much. Greer Country Club's Trey Bridwell followed his spectacular 2nd round 66 - the low round of the tournament, with a more than solid 69 - a score that was matched by only one more golfer in the field, Herbie Sargent's opening round. By the time he calmly rolled in a 14 foot birdie on the difficult 17th hole, his lead reached double digits. His 8 under par total of 208 was 11 shots ahead of former Clemson golfer Zack Siefert and 2006 County Am champion Garland Ferrell. Siefert had the 2nd low round of the day with a 70. In 4th place was Thornblade's Todd Hendley, Summersett's Mikey Hartin, and 2002 Champion Jeremy Revis. Two-time champ Bobby Hines (1996 & 1998) tied Summersett's david Ellington at 5 over 221. Terry Willis, Stephen Kirven, and Jeff Jaeggi rounded out the top ten. Bridwell won a gift certificate, a crystal trophy, and posession at Greer Country Club for the next year the Leon Gravley Memorial Cup. Bridwell was excited about his victory. "First of all those guys I played against are great players and super nice guys. That makes this even more meaningful, because those are some of the best players in the Upstate. Getting my name on that trophy alongside all those great names is a lifetime achievement. This is such a great tournament and I am honored to win it." At the conclusion of the tournament, Bob Murray was inducted into the Greenville County Golf Hall of Fame. Also Thornblade was awarded the Grady Allison Cup for the next year for winning the County Team title over the first 36 holes. On another note, the golfers in the tournament brought in 2739 new & used golf balls to give to the kids at The First Tee of Greenville. Dunlop Golf has agreed to match that total with new golf balls. Tournament Director Robbie Gravley also thanked Powerade for their involvement in the tournament, stating that the tournament will be able to give "significant" funds to The First Tee because of the excellent participation of the golfers, and especially from the partnership with Powerade. The tournament committee wishes to thank all the players and fans that came out to Verdae Greens this weekend for the 41st Annual Powerade Greenville County Amateur. The course & staff at Verdae were fantastic. The golf was great and we did some good things for The First Tee. The players and committee also pass along condolences to the family of Cathead Stroud and to Dillard Pruitt and family in the recent loss of Fran Pruitt.

Eddie Gault & Jeff Stevens won the Piedmont Classic Two Man Team Championship Sunday afternoon at Fox Run in exciting fashion by defeating Mack & Yancey Johnson in a playoff. Both teams shot identical 66's on Saturday, and 69's on Sunday for a nine under par total of 135. In the playoff, Stevens short par putt clinched the championship. "We really complimeted each other", Stevens said. Gault also had praise for his partner. "He was there, every hole. He played great." The duo took the reigns of the title from Tommy Ashworth & Tim Garrett, fellow members who won in 2007. In 3rd place were Pebble Creek's Dean Nance & Jeff Ware They were a single shot back at 136. First round leaders Bobby Hines & Todd Hendley from Thornblade took 4th place largely due to a 1st round 65, and Bill Dean and Steve Scott were 5th. Brett Wyman & Mike Sawyer won the 1st Flight with a 140 total, while Doug Brown and Johnny Pope finished at 144 to win Flight #2.
