DUNCAN, SC - On a very breezy day at the River Falls Plantation Golf Course, Boiling Springs golfer Andrew Gregory was the class of the field as he shot a tournament low score of 71 to repeat as the champion of the Rebel Invitational golf tournament on Monday.
"It feels good to win it for the second year in the row," said Gregory. "It seems that this course and tournament just suits my style. It feels good to start the regular season this way and hopefully next time out we can pick up a team victory as well." While Gregory came away with the victory, it did take two playoff holes to win the tournament after Gregory and River Bluff's Ashton Eubanks tied at 71 after eighteen holes of play. They both shot one under of the first playoff hole (ninth hole) before Gregory was able to come away with the victory on the second playoff hole (eighteenth hole) with a beautiful ten-foot putt. Gregory said on the final hole he just wanted to make sure to get a good drive to get it started on a good foot. "I just wanted to hit the fairway and see what happened from there," said Gregory. Bulldogs head coach Josh Pruitt said he was happy of the accomplishment by his junior golfer on Monday. "Andrew is a good player and it was tough conditions out there today," said Pruitt. "He won a junior tournament just before the season and had a good outing at the Red Raider Invitational last week. I'm proud of him and know he'll win some more as the season goes along." As a team Boiling Springs finished the tournament with a score of 326 to tie for fourth with River Bluff. Greenville High School won the tournament with a score of 316 followed by Mauldin (318) and Spartanburg (320). Chesnee (406) and Chapman (396) both competed in the Rebel Invitational as well. "I was hoping we'd do a little better as a team today, but we were missing our number two player and only had four players available for today," said Pruitt. "We expect the best and I still think we're going to be able to put another run together for hopefully another state championship. I think we can accomplish it and win some more tournaments if we get it right." Boiling Springs will next take to the course for a two-day tournament March 14th-15h at the Bengal Invitational at the Columbia Country Club. The Bulldogs will then host the Spartanburg County tournament on March 21st at Woodfin Ridge Golf Course. Comments are closed.
