Tommy Ashworth wins 4th annual Upstate Mid-Am Fox Run golfer wins going away..... Tommy Ashworth capped off a terrific 2004 by taking the crown at the Upstate Mid-Amateur this past weekend at River Falls. He opened the tournament with a 72 in the cold & wind on Saturday to take a three shot lead over Pebble Creeks' Bill Hathaway, and another over Jeff Jaeggi of Carolina Springs. Defending Champion Doug Tooke led five players another shot back at 77. The group included Mike Minyard, Stephen Kirven, Bobby Kline, and Duff Wagner. Wagner was near the top of the leaderboard at one over par going to 17, but finished bogey-triple to fall back. On Sunday, although the wind didn't blow as much, the conditions were much colder, and the wind picked up as the day wore on. The slick River Falls greens got more treacherous as the day went on as well. Ashworth was solid all day though, and soon stretched his lead to five, and then six. But with the lead down to four goig to 16, he birdied 16 & 18 to close out the win with a final round 73. The 73, like the Champ's 72 in the first round, was the low score of the day. Stephen Kirven, also from Pebble Creek, shot a final round 74 to join Hathaway in a tie for 2nd place at 151. Tooke defended his 2003 title well, finishing 4th, while 2001 champion Bill Duncan rounded out the top five. Ashworth, who won four other tournaments this year, also helped his Greenville County team capture the first ever Cyder Cup Matches at River Falls back in October. "Those conditions out there Saturday were especially brutal", Ashworth said on Sunday afternoon. "I felt like it was a three shot wind, in other words, in my mind my even par score was three under. There were some good players in this field, and as you can see with the scores, it was tough. I'm just very happy to win this thing and close out a great year." Thanks to everyone who helped, and to everyone who played. The tournament will be at River Falls again next year, and we are considering a date change. Please let me know if you are 30 or older, in other words, tournament-eligible, and have an opinion on the best date for this tournament. Click here to send a suggestion. We are committed to making this a premier event in the Upstate that fills to capacity each year. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF THE 2004 ROCKING CHAIR TROPHY........TOMMY ASHWORTH!! Doug Tooke putts on #18...this birdie won the Upstate Mid-Am!! Doug Tooke won the 3rd Annual Upstate Mid-Amateur championship Sunday afternoon at Southern Oaks with a closing 72 to finish at five under par 139. He beat Mike Gravley, Jimmy Wilson, and '01 champ Bill Duncan by one stroke. Tooke's opening 67 made him too tough to catch. Gravley opened Sunday with four birdies in his first five holes and finished with a 68. Tooke had come to the par 5 15th at seven under, but left with a double bogey. Gravley birdied the same hole to move to -5, and both he & Tooke would bogey 16. At the closing hole, Tooke & Gravley were at -4, while Wilson & Duncan were at -3. In the group ahead, Gravley's second shot to the par 5 was long, and his 12 foot birdie putt slid by. Tooke, Duncan, and Wilson would all birdie 18, with Tooke holing 1n eight foot putt to claim the championship. "I wasn't sure that I would ever get to experience winning again", said Tooke afterwards. "I started running out of gas there at the end, but I made the birdie when it counted." This year's tournament had a Senior Division for guys older than 50. Tooke not only won that, but beat the 30 & olders too. Special thanks to Wayne Myers and the staff at Southern Oaks, and to everyone that played! RG Upstate Mid & Senior Amatuer scores...
