DURHAM, NC (April 19, 2009)--Jarrett Grimes of Columbia, SC led wire to wire to capture the Carolinas Mid-Amateur Championship at Treyburn Country Club. Grimes needed a one-hole playoff to edge Mark Slawter of Wake Forest, NC. Grimes, who plays out of Northwoods Country Club, capped a five-foot birdie the par-4 18th in the playoff to best Slawter.

Grimes held a two-shot lead over Slawter heading into the final round and upped his lead to as many as five shots after the 13th hole. Slawter, who regained his amateur status in 2007, fought back with birdies on 14, 16, 17 and 18 to finish tied with Grimes at 5-under par after regulation play.

2008 NC Mid-Amateur Champion Uly Grisette of Clemmons, NC fired the tournament’s best score, a 67 to finish alone in 3rd.

Defending Champion Robert Godfrey of Seneca, SC tied for 19th.

This is the fifth CGA championship hosted by Treyburn Country Club.

The Carolinas Mid-Amateur Championship is open to male golfers, age 30 and over with a maximum handicap index of 5.4.

This event is conducted by the Carolinas Golf Association which is celebrating its 100th year in 2009.
