Finster and Gurley Win 10th North Carolina Four-Ball Championship at Sea Trail Golf Resort

Sunset Beach, NC - Tournament veterans John Finster of Wake Forest and Danny Gurley of Chapel Hill bypassed second-round leaders Stephen Pugh and Thomas Barker of Greenville with a final-round seven-under par 65 to claim the 10th North Carolina Four-Ball Championship at Sea Trail Golf Plantation Jones course.

Finster and Gurley, who now own four and three CGA championships respectively, erased their two-shot deficit with five under par 31 in the front-nine to tie the Greenville duo with nine holes remaining. Finster and Gurley took the outright lead with a par on 11 and never trailed.

Pugh and Barker cut the lead to one stroke with one hole to play, but the Greenville duo could not convert birdies to take the eventual winners to a playoff.

Finster, 37and Gurley, 44 are the reigning Carolinas Mid-Am and North Carolina Mid-Amateur champions respectively. This was their first team effort in a CGA event.

"John could win this event with anyone," said a relieved Gurley. "My goal was stay out of his way and not mess up too much."

This event is conducted by the Carolinas Golf Association.
