Recapping the Spring
51st VSGA Four-Ball
Stroke Play
Championship
River Bend Club, Great Falls
May 6-7
After surviving a water-logged
first day of the championship,
Harold Dill III (South Riding GC)
and Kyle Bailey (Roanoke CC)
posted a sizzling second-round
62 to earn their way into a playoff
with Scott Shingler (Evergreen
CC) and Justin Young (Ballyhack GC). On the third hole of the
playoff, Bailey drove the green on
the par-4 12th and two-putted for
the winning birdie.
Both Bailey and Dill attended
Radford University, but only Bailey played on the Highlanders’
team. Dill was cut his junior year.
Still, the two remained roommates and close friends, setting
the stage for a successful fourball partnership.
QUICK FACTS:
Field and format: Six qualifying sites and exemptions
produced a field of 48 sides.
First-round leaders: Scott
Shingler/Justin Young and
Vincent Nadeau/Brandon
Grogan (67).

Quotable: “Give them credit.
[Bailey] hit a phenomenal tee
shot, hole high, 15 feet with a
driver. The number was 275
uphill, and he flew it almost
300 yards. He hit a heck of a
golf shot when he needed to.”
