18 birdies in 36 holes is enough to give the team of Nicholas Lyerly from Salisbury, NC and Justin Emmons from Asheboro, NC the lead heading into the final round of the North Carolina Four-Ball Championship. In their first ever four-ball event, they have found a spark together. “I think it’s awesome, I love it (four-ball)”, Emmons said when asked about playing four-ball for the first time, “the second player can really take advantage if the first person is safe, it really makes you comfortable.” The youngest team in the field has a one shot lead in what has turned into a two horse race.
One shot behind, is the veteran team of JD McNeill from Raleigh, NC and Jerry Richardson, Jr. from Cary, NC. Carding 15 birdies and 1 eagle over two days, doing almost all of their damage on the par 5s and par 3s. McNiell and Richardson were in the final group at last year’s NC Four-Ball Championship, and finished in third place. They are hoping this year will have a different outcome.
The two teams are six shots clear of the rest of the field in what is sure to be a shootout Sunday at Mill Creek. The cut line fell at 5-under par 139. The leaders will tee off at 9:20am Sunday morning.
