Hudson Wins Tennessee Amateur

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Bobby Hudson (Memphis) shot a final round 71 (-1) to finish at 279 (-9) and claim the 92nd Annual Tennessee Amateur Championship at the historic Belle Meade Country Club.

The University of Texas sophmore grabbed a two-stroke lead in the third round and held on tight as competitors made a number of runs at the lead. Hudson was able to get to 10-under, but a bogey at the 18th dropped him back to nine-under par for the championship. That was enough, however as closest competitor Brent Long finished the day with a final round 67 (-5) and a four day total of 280 (-8), just one behind Hudson.

Germantown's Tim Jackson also made a run at the title with a birdie on 18 taking him to seven-under par. Unfortunately it was not enough to overtake the Memphis star. Craig Smith (Springfield) and Wes Roach (Knoxville) both posted even par rounds of 72 holding them at six-under par and five-under par respectively.

Defending champion Thomas Smith, the former UTC player, had a solid effort, finishing seventh at 3-under. The next lowest Chattanooga was Furman golfer Chris Gilliland, who finished with a 72 to get to 2-under.
