After a two hour rain delay, 48 of the 50 teams headed out for a 10:00 shotgun start Sunday at the Upstate Two Man Team Championship at Greer Country Club. Zack Moran & former Greenville County Amateur Champion Zach Seifert fired a four under par 32 to tie 1st round leaders Dean Nance & Doug Ramey. Nance & Ramey started the day two shots ahead of Joey Patterson & David Ellington, and three ahead of Seifert/Moran, Sam & Conner Merrell, Bobby & Bo Ream, and Tyler Burdine & Levi Moody. Despite the steady rains, the golfers competed with a great spirit, but the dripping wet golfers were ready to be done after 9 holes. After a conference with the tied leaders and a peek at the forecast revealed no end in sight for the rain for at least an hour, the players decided to call a truce at the top as Co-Champions. There was a four way tie for 3rd place with Josh McMillan & Chris Hamilton, Burdine/Moody, Merrell/Merrell, and Ream/Ream. 

Other flight winners included Ryan & Ken Lynn in the First Flight. They won a card playoff over Todd Reid & Brad Hawkins and Brandon Bradosky & Bryan Kelley. Doug Tooke & Marc Hiott won the 2nd, and Ethan Ellison &Chad Aiken captured the 3rd, winning the card playoff over Jonathan Tucker & Jason Theiss and Ted Holtzclaw & Sam Horne.

Thank you to Steven Gay & Ben Stackhouse the GM & Greens Superentendant at Greer Country Club and their hard-working staffs for a job well done in preparation and hosting this event. Thanks to the players who toughed it out with a great spirit, especially in the Sunday finish. Congrats to the Co-Champs and we'll see everyone at the 50th Annual Greenville County Amateur at Green Valley!

Yancey Johnson played solid golf for the 3rd straight day at the Preserve at Verdae posting a two under par 70 to win the 49th Annual Greenville County Amateur. His efforts earned him a three shot victory over Mike Hartin, Cory Slocum, and Bryan Newton, who had led going into the final round. One shot further back was Geno Berchiatti and former champions Chris Eassy & Marcus Grumbles. Robert Lutomski & Derrick Oyervides were next at 218, while Casey Owens, Matt Hopper, Tyler Tucker, and 2013 Champion Todd Hendley rounded out the top 10. The scores trended higher on Sunday, as Hendley, Oyervides, and Johnson were the only players in the field able to break par on Sunday and just four others matched it, including four time champ Mike Gravley.

Johnson was also the only player to be at or below par all three days with hs 72-71-70 scores. "There's a lot of great names on that trophy, guys I have looked up to and tried to work hard to be like them. To win this and have my name beside them is just very special." Johnson will now take the Leon Gravley Cup to his home course of Holly Tree for the next 12 months. Also heading back to Holly Tree will be the Allison Cup team trophy. Holly Tree pulled away from Thornblade to win, while the Verdae, Greer CC, and Fox Run teams were close behind.
