By East Alabama Sports Today
Dalton Chandler shot a final-round 4-under-par 68 and won Pine Hill’s Dash for the Green tournament by three shots.
Chandler shot 10-under 134 for the tournament. His father, county champion Ott Chandler, and Adrian Geeting tied for second. Geeting shot 69 in the final round and Ott Chandler shot 71.
“I didn’t hit irons very good at all; I just hit my driver very, very good all weekend,” Dalton said. “I had a chance to shoot low scores and didn’t take advantage of the opportunities I put myself in.”
The other flight winners were Doug Sears, Jerry Irwin and Shelton Morrow.
MARK SAWYER
DRIVE, CHIP & PUTT
Two East Alabama junior golfers had their dream of playing inside the ropes at Augusta National end Sunday when they fell short of qualifying for the Drive, Chip and Putt national championship.
Mark Sawyer of Cherokee County CC finished fifth in the boys 12-13 division at his regional final at Pinehurst. Tanner Wilder of Pell City finished in the boys 14-15 division at the same regional.
The winners advanced to the finals at Augusta the Sunday before The Masters.
Sawyer scored 114 points in his division of the junior skills competition. He holed out one of his chips and won a medal for finishing third in putting.
“This was an experience I’ll never forget,” Sawyer said. “I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful resort … And being able to play ‘The Centenntial No. 8.'”
Wilder scores 95 points. He hit two drives between 230 and 250 yards and finished tied for third in putting.
COUNTY MATCH PLAY
Before playing the final round of the Dash For The Green, Ott Chandler defeated Andrew Brooks in the Round of 16 of the Calhoun County Match Play Championship, 4&2.
Chandler will play the winner of the Jeremy McGatha-Billy Thompson match next.
