The duo didn't drop a hole in turning back Hoyt McGarity and Drew Kittleson at Winged Foot
The reigning U.S. Mid-Amateur champion teamed with Michael McBride to win the prestigious Anderson Memorial Four-Ball on Sunday, defeating the team of Hoyt McGarity and Drew Kittleson, 5 and 4, at Winged Foot Golf Club.

History of the Anderson Memorial Four Ball
Named after one of the Winged Foot's founders, John G. Anderson was one of the top amateur players of his era. Winner of 53 tournaments worldwide, he was known as having one of the sharpest minds in golf. His ability to outwit and outsmart so much of his competition inspired many golfers in the early 1900's and is partially responsible for the massive golf boom in the Metropolitan section. Off the golf course, Anderson was one of the golf's prominent writers and is credited with bringing to life the story of Francis Ouimet's historic victory at the 1913 U.S. Open.
