Another private course in the RDU area has been conquered!
Full scores and placements can be found here
Nestled in Holly Springs, lurks a club brandishing the Devils name, and on Sunday, it lived up to that!
Hot temps, long rough hiding your ball, and a TOUGH layout gave the competitors of the RDUgolf Tour a difficult round and a true test of skills.
Devils Ridge required execution and precision off the of the tee because long rough and significant amount of OB make blowup holes VERY easy to come by.
A few golfers were able to find their way and stay steady
This event came down to hole 18 and a scorecard playoff!
After posting one of the most interesting scorecards I have ever see, Jacob Van Leeuwen fell victim to the playoff
Staying in play all round and not losing a single ball (a huge accomplishment on this course), John Carosso birdied the 16th (which played as the 3rd hardest hole of the day) and finished the back +1 tying with Jacob and winning in the playoff
Congratulations to John Carosso on his win!
John is one of the most down to earth people in the league and we are thrilled for him!
He has now officially qualified for the Tour Championship at Talamore in October!
- 1st – Net: John Carosso (-1, 71)
- 2nd – Net: Jacob Van Leeuwen (-1, 72)
And FINALLY we have a different name to announce for the Gross winner!
