Pro-Am Classic Final Results
Presented by the Golf Course Superintendents Association
The SCGA/CGA/CPGA Pro-Am Classic was held over the 6664 yard par 72 layout at The Windermere Club in Blythewood, SC. The two man teams consisted of a golf professional from the Carolinas PGA Section and a scratch amateur who is a member of a North or South Carolina club.
The first round was played in a modified alternate shot format with both players hitting tee shots, then hitting each others second shots before selecting a ball to play alternately until holed. The second and final round was conducted at four ball stroke play.
Clem King and David DuPre both from the Columbia Country Club in Blythewood took the first round lead with a 5 under par 67 in the cool windy conditions. Three teams lurked a single stroke away heading into the final round. Three more teams were just another stroke back.
A member of the winning team form 1999, Bill Lewis was playing with a new partner - Gus Sylvan of Columbia. After posting a first round score of 69, Sylvan made birdie on two of the team’s first three holes. Two birdies each on the back left the Lewis-Sylvan team in a strong position to take the title with two holes to play.
Sylvan “wanted to test his partner” and found the water on the left at 18 (their 17th hole). Lewis a former SCPGA Player-of-the-Year left no doubt he could finish the hole by himself. A drive down the right side, a safe second, a third to the front of the green, and a long putt to within inches gave his partner time to catch his breath.
Sylvan then made his fifth birdie of the day on the always treacherous first hole close out the day and to finish with a two stroke margin of victory with their final round, a bogey free 65 and a 134 total. The team of Daniel Seawell (Columbia) and Robert Dargan (Columbia) posted a final round 66 to take second place with a 136. King-DuPre shot 70 the final round and finished in a three way tie for third with David Ross-Keith Harris (Concord, NC) and Mike Schroder (Myrtle Beach, SC) - Ron Schroder (Aiken, SC).
The Pro-Am Classic is scored using two formats: modified alternate shot for the first round and four-ball for the second. Teams are comprised of one professional and one amateur playing at scratch.
