PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC (April 6, 2014) – Final round results of the 34rd Carolinas Mid-Amateur Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association hosted by The Reserve Golf Club in Pawleys Island, SC on Sunday, April 6, 2014 (6805 yards, par 36-36—72, 72.4/135).
Matthew Crenshaw of Burlington, NC led wire-to-wire to win the 34th Carolinas Mid-Amateur Championship and his fifth CGA career title. Crenshaw carded a final round 73 to finish at seven-under 209 four strokes ahead of Dean Channell of Cary, NC and 2010 Carolinas Mid-Amateur champion Steve Liebler of Irmo, SC.
“Today was a tough round for me,” stated Crenshaw. “I do not have the best track record playing in windy conditions even with a big lead. But I was able to keep it together throughout the round. I am honored to have my name on the same trophy as many of the great players in Carolinas history.”
Two-time defending champion, Scott Harvey of Greensboro, NC, finished with a final round 74 for a 217 total and finished in seventh place.
Two holes-in-one were recorded in today’s final round. Liebler aced the 12th hole with a 9-iron from 132 yards and Banks Wood of Charlotte, NC holed his tee shot on the 165-yard third hole.
