Clontz “Frees Up” partner Hendley to take home Lefty Righty title

Playing alongside first round leaders Brent Roof and Phillips McDowell of Columbia, Ron Clontz (Greenville) and Todd Hendley (Simpsonville) found themselves in a dog fight with the Columbia pair on Sunday. Neither team made much noise on the outward nine as a number of teams playing ahead started to make a move towards the lead. The back nine proved to be a different story as the teams battled it out in style on the last three holes.

The first round leaders seemingly did what they were supposed to do, recording birdie on the final three. Not to mention, the team of Stan Sill (Spartanburg) and Jeff Stephens (Ware Shoals), making birdie on their last four to pull within striking distance. But neither team’s effort was quite enough as Todd Hendley scored eagle 3 on the par fives 16 and 18 to snag victory. According to the Lefty on the team, Ron Clontz, it was his birdie on 18 that “freed up” partner Hendley to be aggressive on his eagle try. The “strategy” worked as the pair earned their second ever Lefty Righty Championship. Their two day total of 13 under 131 was one shot better than Roof / McDowell and Sill / Stephens. 

In the Lefthanders Division, Brent Roof continued his solid play, taking the Championship by eight shots over Stan Sill. Roof recorded a two day total of eight under par 136 to earn his second Lefthanders Championship. Allen Coursey of Ninety Six finished third with a one over par 145.
