Jamal Hutchison (Fletcher, NC) and Garret Fader (Hilton Head Island, SC) each fired 4-under par rounds during Saturday’s first round, with Hutchinson’s 68 coming at Cramer Mountain Club and Fader recording his 67 at Gaston Country Club. Hutchison recorded seven birdies on his opening 18, while Wills added six to his card to open the Championship tied atop the leaderboard.
Sunday proved to be quite a different story, with the lead changing hands countless times as players moved up and down the pack. Eventually, after mother nature threw varying weather conditions at the boys, Tyler Jones (Jacksonville, NC) and Shlok Jain (Cary, NC) would elevate themselves from the group in a tie for first at 1-under, forcing extra holes.
With HV3 himself looking on, Jones would prevail on the second playoff hole at Gaston and clinch the 4th HV Invitational title. Jones fired a strong 69 at Gaston Country Club today, including birdies on 13, 14, and 15. Jain recorded four birdies on his final round and shot a 70 at Cramer.
“I want to thank Harold and the HV3 Foundation and the CGA for always running a great tournament”, said an emotional Jones. “I also want to thank my parents, my buddies, and all the guys playing in the tournament.”
Jackson Scaletta (Belton, SC) and Carson Etters (Kure Beach, NC) tied for third after firing even par after both rounds. David Gee (Hickory, NC), Isar Joshi (Charlotte, NC), Tyler Brand (Richmond, VA), and Cade Kriscunas (Hilton Head Island, SC) all finished at 1-over for the tournament and tied for fifth. The low round of the weekend went to John McCoy (Salisbury, NC), who recorded a fantastic 6-under (66) today at Cramer.
The HV3 Foundation would like to thank the Cramer Mountain Club and Gaston Country Club members and staff for their hospitality in hosting the 4th HV3 Invitational. Most importantly, we would like to thank the tournament sponsors and theCarolinas Golf Associationfor supporting this event.
