Edward Hollis defeated Billy Mitchell is sudden death to win the Georgia Public Links Championship
Hollis opened with 74 at Cherokee Run Golf Club and was four off the first-round pace set by Billy Mitchell, a player who won this championship in 2010 and 2011. Hollis, however, played solid in Round 2. He had nothing but pars and two birdies through his first 17 holes. A bogey on No. 18 knocked him back into a tie for first with Mitchell. Both players stood at 1 over after Mitchell had a tough second-round 75 that included bogeys on his first two holes.
Tra Dykes and Frank Webster tied for third at 3 over. Sunday’s best round belonged to Justin Connelly, whose 2-under 70 dropped him to 4 over for the tournament and into a tie for fifth with Chris Waters and Robert Williams.
