Around The Commonwealth
Kelly Chinn celebrates his birdie putt on No. 18
at James River Country Club, a fitting end to
a dominating week at the VSGA Junior Stroke
Play Championship.
Nevins are teammates at Langley High
School, a powerhouse program that has
won four straight Virginia High School
League championships. With Chinn’s lead
at a mere two strokes in the final round,
Nevins made double bogey on the par-4
11th, and Chinn made birdie, pushing the
lead to five and ending any drama.
38TH VSGA SENIOR FOUR-BALL
CHAMPIONSHIP
Winners: Keith Decker and Roger
Newsom (59-64—123)
Runners-up: Three sides tied at 129
The story: Put together the winningest
player in VSGA history with a two-time
State Open of Virginia champion who
just last year reached the final match of
the U.S. Senior Amateur, and the result
was predictable. Newsom put an exclamation
point on the side's dominating
victory at the Golden Horseshoe’s Gold
Course by holing out from the fairway
for eagle on No. 18 in the second round,
giving him a win in his first appearance
in the event and Decker his 30th
VSGA title.
“I’ve been looking forward to playing
a two-man with Keith for a long time,”
Newsom said. “I just thoroughly enjoyed
it. It’s just the fact that every time I got
up on the tee, I never had to worry about
being out of the hole. I knew Keith was
going to grind … I mean, he can crush
granite with his eyelids. He’s just going
to grind, and he’s never going to let you
down. It’s fun to play golf that way.”

by six strokes at The
Golden Horseshoe.

to playing a two-man with
Keith for a long time, I just
thoroughly enjoyed it.”
