CASTLE ROCK, CO (October 7, 2016) -- The final round of the 2016 Charlie Coe Invitational hosted at Castle Pines Golf Club has been completed. The first severe frost of the fall impacted the golf course to the point where the final round had to be shortened to nine-holes, but the spirit of the competition and the level of play remained high.

The course played extremely long and tough and yet the quality of the field still managed to shine through with some tremendous scoring.

The Mid-Amateur Division came down to the wire with Castle Pines member Jonathan Marsico of Denver, CO, and partner Ben Hayes of Scottsdale, AZ, shooting a 4-under 32 on the front nine to take home the title at a total of 9-under-par 171. Right on their heels and coming up two-strokes short at 7-under 173 were the teams of defending champions Eoin Middaugh (a Castle Pines member), of Irvine, CA, and Taylor Wood, of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, and Bob Summers (a Castle Pines member), of Dove Canyon, CA, and Greg Lopez, of San Clemente, CA.

In the Senior Division, Castle Pines member Hollis Sullivan, of Westworth Village, TX, and partner Jeff Dillard, of Wichita Falls, TX, carried over their hot play from the second round to shoot a scorching 5-under 31 on the front nine. They posted a 7-under total of 173 to put them atop the Senior Division.

Six-strokes back at 179 were the teams of Pat Youngs and partner John Pierce, both of San Antonio, TX, and Jim Holtgrieve, of Augusta, MO, and partner Al Martin, of Plymouth, MA.

This was the 27th anniversary of the Charlie Coe Invitational and it continues to be a tremendous tribute to Charlie himself, one of the best amateur players in golf. His accomplishments included two USGA Amateur Championships (1949 and 1958), playing in nineteen consecutive Masters (making the cut fifteen times) and being a seven-time member of the Walker Cup (Captain in 1957 and 1959). Charlie would be proud of the play that was on display this week for his tournament.
