Charlotte brothers-in-law compete at U.S. Mid-Amateur
Together in June, brothers-in-law Brett Boner and Stephen Woodard won the Anderson Memorial Four-Ball, one of the most prestigious titles in amateur golf, at storied Winged Foot Country Club in New York.
Separately, they are competing in the U.S. Mid-Amateur, the next step up for mid-amateurs 25 and older. Boner and Woodard, who both live in Charlotte, each shot even-par 71 at Charlotte Country Club on Saturday in the first round of stroke-play qualifying. They are four shots back of leaders Stewart Hagestad and Bradford Tilley, each of whom posted rounds of 67 at Charlotte Country Club.
“To have our names in the greatest grill room in golf, we’ll be there forever,” said Boner, the current Charlotte City Amateur champion. “We won against some of the best mid-ams in the country on an incredible golf course,” Woodard said.
Boner and Woodard are both in the top 16 after Saturday and will play today in the second round of stroke play at Carolina Golf Club, where they are both members.
“It’s a huge honor to play in (the U.S. Mid-Am),” said Boner. “It’s a home game but that doesn’t mean there is less pressure.”
Three who mattered
Hagestad: Hagestad, of Newport Beach, Calif., is the 2016 U.S. Mid-Am champion and posted his 67 in the morning wave. He will play at Carolina Golf Club on Sunday.
Tilley: Tilley, of Easton, Conn., shot his 4-under 67 with no bogeys around Charlotte Country Club.
Stephen Behr: Behr, who lives in Atlanta, is tied for fifth at 2-under 69 at Charlotte Country Club. He is a 2016 Clemson graduate and is playing in his first U.S. Mid-Am.
Observations
▪ Samuel Echikson, born in Paris and lives in Charlotte, shot 1-over 72 at Carolina GC. He played college golf at Davidson.
▪ Most of Saturday’s higher scores came from Carolina GC, which played at 6,998 yards and a par of 71 and played about a half-shot more difficult than Charlotte.
▪ Kyle Davies, of Sacramento, Calif., shot Saturday’s low round at Carolina GC, a 2-under 69.
Worth mentioning
▪ Scott Harvey of Greensboro, the 2014 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, shot 5-over 76 at Carolina GC as did reigning Mid-Am champion Matt Parziale, who is a firefighter from Brockton, Mass.
▪ Half the field of 264 players played at Charlotte Country Club Saturday and the other half at Carolina Golf Club. Each half will switch courses today.
▪ Stroke play qualifying concludes Sunday and the field will be cut to the low 64 for match play, which begins Monday. The 36-hole final is set for Thursday at Charlotte Country Club.
