Dustin Moore of Burlington, N.C. and Greg Earnhardt of Greensboro, N.C. shot a final round 67 to capture the 23rd N.C. Four-Ball Championship hosted by the Club at 12 Oaks in Holly Springs, N.C.

"We really just played solid," Earnhardt said. "If he was out of one or two of them then I helped and if I was out of one or two of them, he helped. We just tried to hit in the fairway; hit it on the green. We got too much in to par mode for a while but it worked out."

The duo started the day tied for the lead with Clay Watkins of Mebane, N.C. and Stephen Lavenets of Apex, N.C. but found themselves one shot back after a birdie on the second hole by Watkins & Lavenets.

After a chip-in birdie on the ninth hole by 13-year-old Tommy Morrison of Pinehurst, N.C., he and his teammate Scott Lincicome, also of Pinehurst, N.C., found themselves in a three-way tie for the lead as they made the turn.

The tie at the top didn't last long. With birdies on holes six, seven and nine, Earnhardt and Moore captured the solo lead and never gave it away.

The team of Chris Cassetta of High Point, N.C. and John Major of Winston-Salem, N.C. fought hard to keep up with the leaders. The pair birdied the 16th and 17th hole and found themselves on the 18th tee with an outside shot to win the championship. A par by the pair gave Moore and Earnhardt a two-shot cushion heading into the final hole.

The champs didn't sleep on the lead. Moore put his approach shot within five feet and dropped in the birdie to cruise to a three-shot victory.

"It feels great," Moore said. "I've played in a bunch of these the last few years and to come out here and play with those younger guys and have (Earnhardt) on my back. I was hitting first all day and knowing he had my back on every shot, it feels good to win this one that's for sure."

The CGA wishes to thank the members and staff of the Club at 12 Oaks, especially the Head Golf Professional, Matt Bevan.
