20th AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Grant Takes Amateur Wire-to-Wire!

One Metropolitan Amateur Championship entered, one victory! Meadowbrook CC member Eli Grant finished off an unbelievable run over the 153 player field Saturday with a one shot victory.

Grant had rounds of 68-72-75 for a 1-over par total. Finishing one back were Jeremy Franklin and Brian Craig, both of Gateway National Golf Links. Craig fired the low round of the Championship with a 5-under 66 to move into contention early in the final round.

Admittedly, Grant filed an entry into the 20th Amateur to support his club. Had the Championship been conducted anywhere else, he most likely would not have been a participant.

Finishing two shots backs of the lead were defending champion Skip Berkmeyer and round 1 co-leader Kyle Kahlenberg. Four of the top 5 players play out of Gateway National Golf Links.
