Father-Son Duo Claims 38th Annual Ron
King Memorial Member-Guest Golf Tourney at WCC
Mike and Jordan
Mullins Capture Title by Two Strokes |
|
|
|
The
father-son duo of Mike and Jordan Mullins came
to play golf during
the opening round and held off the
challenges over the
final 18 holes to capture the
men’s championship
flight title in the 38th annual Ron
King Memorial
Member-Guest golf tournament Saturday
and Sunday at
Willowbrook Country Club.
Mike and his son, Jordan, blistered the course over
the first nine
holes—posting a round of 28—good enough
to earn the twosome
medallist honors for the lowest
round as well as the
championship trophy at the end of
Sunday’s play.
The annual two-day tournament saw some 52 golfers
take to the course for
two days of golf competition
and other social
events.
As in recent years, this year’s event saw three
different formats
played over the 27 holes.
The event is scheduled for 36 holes — 18 holes each
day — but was
trimmed to just nine holes during
Saturday’s opening
round due to heavy lightening and
rain in the area.
Saturday’s opening nine holes featured a captain’s
choice format for the
26 two-person teams. On Sunday,
the first nine holes
were played on an alternate shot
format (modified) and
the back nine holes played on a
best ball (among the
twosome) format.
Mike and Jordan opened Saturday’s round with a score
of 28, just one stroke
ahead of Donnie Phipps and B.J.
Elswick, and just two
and three strokes ahead of the
remaining eight teams
in the championship flight.
On Sunday, the Mullins twosome posted a round of
four-under-par, 66,
and picked up one stroke over
their nearest twosome
to capture first place honors in
the championship
flight with a two-day, 27-hole score
of 94.
The twosome of Phipps and Elswick finished tied with
the twosome of WCC
Club Pro Glen Turner and his
partner Buckey
Blankenship, for runner-up honors in
the flight. Both teams
finished play with a two-day
total 96.
Turner and Blankenship won runner-up honors in the
championship flight
after a playoff on hole #7.
In the ladies’ division, Ginger Robertson and Ina
Turner
posted a round of 31 during Saturday’s nine
holes and backed that
up with an 18-hole score of 81
on Sunday to claim the
women’s title with a two-day
total
score of 118.
