Philadelphia Country Club hosts annual Four-Ball tournament

Lance Strickland and Billy McWilliams of Meridian captured the annual Four-Ball tournament at the Philadelphia County Club Sunday afternoon.

 

The two-day event drew 55 teams. Strickland and McWilliams shot 63 on the first day. They were in a three-way tie in the Championship Flight with the teams of Bo Welch and Robert Ammon, and Scott Miller and Jordan Smith.

 

Strickland and McWilliams shot a 65 the second day while Welch and Ammon and Miller and Smith both shot 67 and were tied for second and third.

 

“We had a good weekend,” Strickland said. “We played bogey-free. There were some back-and-forth moments but we hung in there.”

 

Strickland and McWilliams play out of the Briarwood Country Club. They play together regularly on Fridays at Briarwood, but this was the first tournament they entered as partners.

 

“I played this tournament with Willie Frazier last year,” Strickland said. “We finished tied with Bo and Robert last year and lost on a playoff hole. So, this was kind of a rematch this year.

 

“I have a lot of respect for Bo and Robert and there is no give-up in them. I have played the Philadelphia tournament about four years and this was the first time we were able to pull it off.”

 

Allen Johnson and Ryan McKay finished with a two-day total of 133 to win the first flight. Chad Stokes and Joe Rush came in second at 135 while Bob Jordan and Scott Watkins came in third at 136.

 

Derek Cleveland and Tobey Cleveland shot 135 to win the Second Flight with Mike Lewis and Griffin Burk finishing second at 141. Trent Myers and Zach McDonald placed third at 143.

 

The Third Flight was close with Garrett Lyles and Matt Langford placing first at 141. Garrett Threadgill and Tyler Threadgill came in second at 142 with Jim Eakes and David Hayman placing third at 143.

 

Jason Fulton and Creed Fulton won the Fourth Flight with a two-day total of 148. Ben Bourland and Scott Ray finished tied with Bill Rosamond and Robert Tolbert for second and third with both teams shooting 149.
