Fall 2016 Ohio Valley Region NCCGA Tournament

Lexington was the host of our second Regional for the Ohio Valley Region. Miami held an advantage for the #DriveForDisney heading into the day with 6 points after winning the first Regional. It was a bit chilly, but there was only sun and the course was fit for the occasion. It reflected on the leaderboards, with the field shooting some good scores. Particularly, P.J Greene from the University of Dayton, with a pair of 71's to finish the tournament 2 under par. His team backed him with solid scores as well, shooting 25 over for the tournament, with Josh Rinear joining P.J in the All-Tournament Team. However, the first day opened the race for Nationals wide up, with Miami shooting 391 on the day. Ohio State led the day with a 372, Dean Hitt and Eric Buse shooting a pair of 73's to lead the team. But Dayton was not far behind with a 373, P.j shooting 71 and Chandler Spees shooting par as well. Short of a Miami comeback, it was a showdown for Disney between Ohio State and Dayton on Sunday, and Dayton prevailed with some excellent scores, P.J shooting 71 again with three 75's and a 76. Ohio State could not keep up despite Dean shooting par to finish 2nd overall with a one over par 145. Nationals Qualifying ended with Dayton with 9 points, Miami with 6, Ohio State with 4, and Ohio with 1. Dayton goes to Disney, and well deserved through their play at Griffin Gate Golf Club in Lexington, who where the hosts for this weekend's event. The Ohio Valley closes yet another season in the NCCGA, and good luck to the University of Dayton at Disney!
