Quarterfinals ready at Palm Beach Mid-Amateur Match Play
JUPITER, Fla. (Sept. 27, 2014) — Eddie Kenny of
Lake Worth and
R.J. Nakashian of Palm Beach Gardens, both
caddies at Trump
International in West Palm Beach, led the march
into the
quarterfinals of the Tire Kingdom Palm Beach
Mid-Amateur Match
Play Championship Saturday at Trump National-
Jupiter.
Each won two matches and they could meet in
the semifinals
Sunday afternoon, less than three weeks before
they go back to
work when Trump International reopens for the
season on Oct.
17. For that to happen, they must win their
round-of-eight
matches Sunday morning.
Kenny, winner of the Palm Beach County
Amateur in July, beat
Joe Ingarra, 2 and 1, and Kyle Westhorpe, 3 and
1. Nakashian,
who has been named Player of the Year several
times by the
Palm Beach County Golf Association, won a pair
of 5 and 4
decisions, over Tom Parker and Michael Burr.
First round matches were delayed when it took
most of Friday to
complete the qualifying round. Defending
champion Daniel
Eggertsson lost his first match Saturday
morning. Co-medalist
Robert Floyd won twice while Pete Williams, the
other player to
shoot 69 Friday, lost in the second round.
The 29th annual Mid-Amateur drew more than 80
qualifying
hopefuls. Weather permitting, the first, second
and third flights of
16 will finish Sunday. The 32-man championship
flight may not be
completed until a later date at the convenience
of the two
finalists.
