Albany native makes eight final-round birdies to overcome three-shot deficit at Coosa Country Club
The Albany, Ga. native, who played for Lee County High School and Georgia Southwestern University, posted 74 on Friday and sat eight back of opening-round leaders Waters and Michael Blechschmidt. He flipped the calendar to Saturday and turned in a pair of 32s in the second round to catapult up the leaderboard, three behind 36-hole leader Franco Castro.
Waters' runner-up finish, featuring rounds of 66-70-79, was three clear of a two-way tie for third place that included second-round leader Castro as well as Joseph Kalbac.
Defending champion Bob Royak of Alpharetta, Ga. tied for 10th place, posting scores of 72-68-71. Four-time winner David Noll, Jr. fired 71 on Friday but struggled on the weekend with 74-79 to close out his tournament.
The host club Coosa Country Club was the site of the tournament's inaugural running back in 1982. The winner of the that event, Ross Johnson, was on hand Sunday to present Gahman with the trophy.
