Final Results

Wallace, NC – Final round results of the 15^th North Carolina Four-Ball Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association hosted by River Landing, Landing course, in Wallace, NC on Sunday, October 10, 2010 (6959 yards, par 36-36—72, 73.6/133).

On the first playoff hole John Larkin Spell of Clinton, NC hit his approach shot to six inches for a kick-in birdie to clinch the North Carolina Four-Ball Championship title for him and partner Jonathan Williams of Clinton, NC.

Spell, a 31-year-old farmer, and Williams, a 27-year-old insurance agent, faced defending champions Chris Eaves of Burgaw, NC and Brent Parrish of Clinton, NC in the playoff after each team posted a 19-under par 197 score after 54 holes.

Spell and Williams, life-long friends, shot a final round 63 that vaulted them up the leaderboard. Their seven birdie and an eagle effort tied for the tournament low round.

Eaves had a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win but was unable to convert.

“John Larkin pulled us through the back nine,” stated Williams. “He was unconscious!”

Spell holed three birdies and an eagle on the inward nine including two birdies and an eagle on the final four holes.

“This is only the second time we have ever played in a team event together”, Spell noted. “The guys at the club (Coharie Country Club) will not put us together at club events”. It’s pretty obvious now why they are not paired together.

Chris Wilson of Winston-Salem, NC hit the shot of the day with a hole-in-one on the 177-yard par 3 fifth hole using a six iron.

Four-Ball format allows each player to play his own ball and the low score of the two partners is used for the team score.
