After making an eagle and a hole-in-one in the first five holes, the Florence native prevails in a playoff at Dataw Island Club
After starting the day two shots off the lead, the Florence native made an eagle and a hole-in-one in his first five holes and overcame a disastrous finish when he relinquished three shots on the final two holes to slip into a playoff.
Weiss got off to a dream start by holing out his second shot for an eagle on the par-4 first hole to draw within one of Bearden, who opened with a birdie.
Four holes later, Weiss aced the fifth to take the outright lead. The former James Madison standout seemingly had things well in hand after making a birdie on 13, but after a double bogey on 17 and a bogey on 18, Weiss found himself in a playoff with Chandler Mulkey, who shot a final round 71 to also finish at 6-under 210.
Weiss ended things quickly with birdie on the first playoff hole to seal the title.
“I had ten feet for eagle on No. 1 and made it,” said Weiss. “I played a couple of holes and had the best hole-in-one of my life on No. 5 which was amazing. It was a little bit of a rollercoaster coming in and I was lucky enough to make my putt on 18 to get in the playoff. It feels so good to win the Mid-Am. This is something I’ve dreamt of doing for a long time and it’s an incredible feeling.”
