July 21-11, 2012
Chad Calvert of Boaz posted a second day score
of 65 at the Dub Ellis Men’s Invitational Golf
Tournament at
Cherokee County Country Club (Centre, Al).
Calvert owned the clubhouse lead in the
Championship Flight until Piedmont’s Jeremy
McGatha went birdie-par on the 17th and 18th
holes. McGatha’s finish forced the duo into a
sudden death play-off.
With McGatha seeking his third individual title
in four years the duo headed back to the 18th
tee. Calvert pushed his tee shot right, struck a
tree branch tree but ended up with a fortunate
lie in the rough. McGatha was also right off the
tee. Both players smartly played their
approaches into the low side of the sloped 18th
green however neither player reached the putting
surface. McGatha was first to go and his birdie
putt ran through eight feet of fringe before
finding the smooth grass and beginning it’s
right to left break. The putt rolled to a stop
just inside three feet where McGatha marked his
ball allowing Calvert a shot at the win.
Calvert, also on the fringe, decided to chip
straight at the stick and his ball came to rest
a foot from the hole where he tapped in for par.
While McGatha stepped up to knock in his par
attempt the gallery readied for another play-off
hole. Unfortunately, for McGatha, the testy putt
caught the edge of the cup and lipped out.
For Calvert, the Boaz Country Club Manager, it
was his first Invitational title. Jeremy Willis
was third (69-67). First round leader Skylar
Dennis (64-74) fell into a tie for fourth with
Austin Henderson (69-69). Ty Cole (70-69) was
sixth and Marcus Harrell (65-75) seventh.
A total of 110 participants tee’d up their ball
on Saturday in the two-day event. Saturday’s
play was slowed due to rain delay but all groups
were able to complete their rounds.
Here are the results of this weekend's event.
