The Blade

Spencer Shoots up the Blade
July 10-11, 2001 ~ Final Results: Jeff Spencer started his second round eight shots back from the leader and came away as the champion of the 2001 Blade.  When he totaled up his card on Wednesday, the Columbia native shot a Blade tournament round record 65.  "I got on a roll and just kept it up" stated Spencer about his best competitive golf round.  He was 7 under par after 13 holes and birdied the finishing par four 18th hole.

In the girls division Mallory Hetzel and Megan Miller matched two round totals at 153 and took their games to a three hole playoff.  It was Hetzel who walked away the winner with a par on the par five number two.  The Summerville native shot a first round 76 and follow it up with a second round 77.  She will add to her trophy collection as she was the 2000 girls 11-13 Blade Champion.

Cody Hill of Summerville captured champion honors in the boys 13-14 division.  He matched his first round 71 with another even par round on Wednesday and was five shots ahead of his nearest competitor.
