In an exciting conclusion of the 2021 playing of the North Carolina Senior Four-Ball, the tandem of Gary Robinson of Fayetteville, N.C. and Preston Edmondson of Morrisville, N.C. rose above the pack to take a one shot victory to claim their first Four-Ball Championship. 

 

“I just hadn’t been able to get anything done in quite a while,” said Robinson. “It feels really good to get something finished.”

 

This is the second Four-Ball Championship Robinson and Edmondson have played in together, with the first being the Carolinas Senior Four-Ball earlier this year. After a runner-up finish in that event, the pair wanted another shot at a title as a team. 

 

“We had a feeling we’d be competitive,” said Edmondson. “We were only one over after the first nine on day one and eight shots behind. We just needed two shots a nine the rest of the way and we played really solid the rest of the way.” 

 

After that opening nine holes that contained eight pars and one bogey, Robinson and Edmondson rolled in 17 birdies in their next 45 holes, with only one other bogey over that stretch. A closing round 5-under-par 65 was just enough as well, to secure their title. Birdies on holes 14, 15, and 17 coming down the stretch helped to elevate them to the top spot. 

 

In solo second at 14-under-par is the team of Ryan Fox of West End, N.C. and Steve Kidd of Liberty, N.C. Fox and Kidd gave everything they had, firing a 5-under-par 65 in their final round but just came up short.

 

The team of Jeff Jamieson of Chapel Hill, N.C. and Mark Kozel of Cary, N.C. finished in a tie for third alongside partners Patrick Brady of Reidsville, N.C. and Steve Harwell of Mooresville, N.C. at 13-under-par.
