Follow up 9-7 Saturday with 9-7 Sunday to seize Cup...

The 2009 Powerade Cyder Cup Matches tilted back to Spartanburg Sunday at River Falls Plantation when Spartanburg Captain Brian Kennedy's team won five of the first six matches en route to an 18-14 victory for the three rounds of golf over two days. Greenville, who won the Cup last year, took a 5-3 lead in Saturday morning's best ball matches, but the Spartanburg team rallied in the afternoon's alternate shot format to take a 9-7 lead over Greenville, who were led by Captain Tommy Ashworth. They would match that 9-7 edge in Sunday's 16 singles matches to pull away for the four point victory.

Spartanburg now holds a 4-2 advantage in the event, which has completed it's 6th year. Greenville Team Tournament Director David Holtzclaw announced that the two teams had raised over $33,000 in donations for The First Tee programs of Greenville & Spartanburg counties. There will be a clinic at River Falls on Thursday afternoon, October 22 at 5:30 for kids from The First Tee.

Thank you to everyone who participated in any way in this fantastic event. Congratulations to Team Spartanburg in winning the 2009 Powerade Cyder Cup!
