On Monday the Chesnee Eagles held their third annual Eagle Invitational at Meadowbrook Golf Club with a field that included the only two 5A golf state champions in the state’s history.
“We have a great mix of teams up here today including Boiling Springs and Gaffney who are always at the top of 5A plus Chapman and Mid-Carolina who are always strong in 3A,” said Chesnee head coach Andy Pitt. “We have teams that don’t always see each other in competition and it will get the teams ready for the upcoming championships.” Boiling Springs Zach Phillips won medalist honors for the tournament as he was the only golfer to finish under par in the tournament finishing the day with s score of 71. The Bulldogs as a team finished in third place with an overall score of 318 and seven shots behind tournament champions Gaffney. The host Chesnee Eagles finished in second place overall one shot ahead of Boiling Springs and six shots behind Gaffney. The Eagles were led by Coleton Bridges who finished second overall with a 73 and Gerrit Cooper who finished tied for third with a score of 74. Both Bridges and Cooper were named to the All-Tournament team. Coach Pitt was very happy with his team's performance at the tournament on Monday. "Having Boiling Springs and Gaffney here is a good measuring stick for us," said Coach Pitt. "Our guys played well on the front nine and backed that up by coming in and playing just as well on the back nine." The rest of the All-Tournament team consisted of Seth Taylor (74) and Ryker Ward ((76), of Gaffney plus PJ Jacbos (77) from Mid-Carolina. The top three were trailed in order by Mid-Carolina, Broome, Chapman, Greer, Landrum, and Greer Middle College. Boiling Springs, Gaffney, Chapman, Landrum, Broome, and Chesnee will all be meeting again next week at Woodfin Ridge as they take part in the Spartanburg County tournament on April 24. Chapman, Broome, and Chesnee will be returning to Meadowbrook Golf Club in a few weeks as it will be the host site of the region championship. Comments are closed.
