The Plantation Course at Edisto Island played host to the Charleston Tour’s third tournament of the young 2011 season. The course was in great shape and the weather was perfect as thirty-two golfers took to the course in search of that elusive win.
The Championship Flight had the lowest number of entrants with one player till Adam Daniel of the "A" Flight stepped up to play in Championship Flight and give Matt McInnis some competition. In the end, Adam shot a 79 to take the first place Championship Flight Trophy. Matt finished in second with an 87. Adam was awarded second place points in the "A" flight for his play.
The "A" Flight’s Dan Wanner overpowered the course and shot a blistering 74 to capture the "A" Flight title. This was Dan’s first tournament and win on the Charleston Tour. Second place went to Mark Ducker who carded a smooth 79.
The "B" Flight saw a familiar face hoisting the trophy at the end of the day. George King fired a 75 to pace the field. James Ravenel came in second place with a solid 83. Third place was captured by Michael Graham with an 84.
The "C" Flight also saw a familiar face hoisting the trophy. Richard Cairns shot a solid 81 to capture first place. Richard was followed closely by Marlon Jones who fired an 87 and David Mays who cruised in with a 93. This was Richard’s second win of the 2011 season.
A perennial Charleston Tour member came thru with an impressive 91 to capture the "D" Flight. Cowboy who has been a member on the Charleston Tour since its beginning used steady play to hoist the "D" Flight trophy. Tour newcomer Wayne Carter was right on Cowboy’s heels with a solid 95 to take second place.
