Play began with rain and ended the same. After a 45 minute rain delay at 11:30am play resumed at 12:30pm. The skies parted and a glimpse of sunshine fell upon Chattanooga’s Black Creek Club. At 3:55pm the second rain delay came into town and all but the final two group were in the clubhouse.

After a 25 minute delay, the final two groups resumed, and Reeves finished in style. With a daunting 60 foot downhill put on the par 5 eighteenth hole, Reeves calmly lagged the ball two feet short. After knocking in the par putt, Reeves 69-66-74-209 total claimed the championship by a single stroke over Peyton Sliger of Maryville. Knoxville’s Jack Smith and Stuart Thomas finished in a tie for third at 4-under par 212.
