David Mathis of Raleigh Takes Top Honors in the Multiple Directory Services Classic
INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. -- David Mathis of Raleigh posted a final-round 68 Thursday to capture the $5,000 first-place check in the Tarheel Tour's Multiple Directory Services Classic at Charlotte National.
Mathis, a former all-conference golfer at Campbell, surged into the lead with four birdies on the front nine and was even par on the back to finish the tourney at 10-under 206. After a bogey on 16, he settled down with pars on the final two holes to take the title.
"The pin placements on the last two holes were tough, so I just hit it to the middle of the green and two-putted," said Mathis, who plays full-time on the Canadian Tour. "I didn't make too many mistakes this week. I played pretty smart and made some putts. I was aggressive at times, but also conservative at times."
Mocksville's Kevin Taylor also fired a final-round 68 and was the leader in the clubhouse at 208 until Mathis trumped him. Taylor, who manages the par-3 course at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, earned $3,000 for second place, which was his best finish of the season. Joey Maxon of Denver, N.C., shot 72 to finish third at 210 and pick up $2,000.
Huntersville's Matt Cannon vaulted into a fourth-place tie by shooting 66, the low round of the tournament. Cannon's total of 211 tied him with David Siegel and Brett Boner, both of Charlotte. All three earned $1,333.33.
The next stop on the Tarheel Tour is the Warrior Invitational, June 22-24 at Warrior Golf Club in China Grove, N.C.
