Yancey Johnson played solid golf for the 3rd straight day at the Preserve at Verdae posting a two under par 70 to win the 49th Annual Greenville County Amateur. His efforts earned him a three shot victory over Mike Hartin, Cory Slocum, and Bryan Newton, who had led going into the final round. One shot further back was Geno Berchiatti and former champions Chris Eassy & Marcus Grumbles. Robert Lutomski & Derrick Oyervides were next at 218, while Casey Owens, Matt Hopper, Tyler Tucker, and 2013 Champion Todd Hendley rounded out the top 10. The scores trended higher on Sunday, as Hendley, Oyervides, and Johnson were the only players in the field able to break par on Sunday and just four others matched it, including four time champ Mike Gravley.

Johnson was also the only player to be at or below par all three days with hs 72-71-70 scores. "There's a lot of great names on that trophy, guys I have looked up to and tried to work hard to be like them. To win this and have my name beside them is just very special." Johnson will now take the Leon Gravley Cup to his home course of Holly Tree for the next 12 months. Also heading back to Holly Tree will be the Allison Cup team trophy. Holly Tree pulled away from Thornblade to win, while the Verdae, Greer CC, and Fox Run teams were close behind.
