UVA's Birdwood Course Brings Out Repeat Winners

 

Day of 3rds for 3 of 4 Flights in Senior Amateur Golf Tournament

Charlottesville, VA

July 24, 2012

            Today was truly a day of 3rds at Birdwood Golf Club of UVA in Charlottesville for the Piedmont Virginia Senior Amateur Golf Tour. 3 of the 4 flights today were won by 3 time season winners; 2 of which used 3 birdies in their rounds to achieve this task; and all three of them taking over 1st place in their flights point standings.

            In the Championship Flight it was Tim Chocklett of Vinton picking up his 3rd season victory and second in a row with his round of 76. This victory kept Tim in the top spot in season point standings for the flight by 360 points over 2nd place finisher Keith Myers of Roanoke; who finished with an 80.

            The A Flight also saw Jim Gaddy of Lynchburg collect his 3rd victory shooting an impressive 76; using a 3 birdie attack which began on the 9th hole and continued on the 10th and 18th holes. Gaddy entered today’s tournament only 10 points behind Flight leader Frankie Smith; also from Lynchburg who today finished 2nd with an 80. With today’s win Gaddy once again took the points lead going into the 3rd MAJOR of the season.

            Rounding out the 3rd victory winners of the day was Wayne Crupi of Alexandria; who in the B Flight recorded a round of 77; matching his season best for his 3rd win of the season. Wayne also used a 3 birdie attack; all of which came on his front 9; to hold off 2nd place finisher Sam Moser of South Boston by a single stroke. Moser who won in his last tournament carded a 78. With the victory; Crupi; who has not missed playing in a tournament all season took over the points lead in the B Flight .

            The C Flight was the only flight won by someone other than a 3 time winner. Tour Director Kenny Powell of Danville; playing in only his 4th tournament all season tied his best score of the season shooting a 89 to force a sudden death shootout for 1st place with Danny Wright of Big Island. With a thunderstorm quickly heading their way; Powell said to Wright on the way to the tee box for #1 , “ If one of us does not win outright on this first playoff hole, I am going to concede the 1st place finish to you so we can finish before the storm reaches us.” Powell however did not have to concede the victory as Wrights attempt for a tie on the hole stopped 4” short allowing Powell to take home his 1st season win.

            The Tours next stop will be its 3rd MAJOR Tournament of the season which is being held at the Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech at Radford on August 7th beginning at 10:00am. Early registration is encouraged with the deadline for signup being July 31, 2012. Register at www.senioramateurgolftour.net on the Piedmont Virginia Link. Entry fee is $70.
