As they say good things happen to those who wait.
In 2015 Justin Tereshko of Greensboro entered the final round of the North Carolina Amateur ahead by two but a late eagle from eventual winner Carter Jenkins did him in. Last year the defeat wasn't as gut wrenching but again it was another runner-up finish.
However, on Sunday at River Run Tereshko, the head coach of Guilford College golf team, was able to make his three-stroke lead at the beginning of the day hold up for a victory.
"I would now say the monkey is off my back," the 27-year-old Tereshko said. "It feels really good."
A quartet of players did pull within two-strokes on the second nine of the final round but Tereshko, who finished 5-under for the tournament would not be denied.
Tereshko established himself early on Sunday with birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 to reach 8-under and despite some wobbles with bogeys on the 7th, 8th, 11th and 17th holes he was able to hold steady enough. Following his final bogey Tereshko finished his run to the title with a birdie for the fourth straight day on the closing hole.
"There are great amateur names [on the trophy] like Bill Harvey and Paul Simson ... Dirk Fennie, my buddy, and William McGirt. So it's pretty cool that Justin Tereshko will be on there too."
Kevin O'Connell, Jake McGlone and Lansdon Robbins finished tied for second at 2-under while in fifth it was 1-under Josh Nichols.
The CGA wishes to thank the members and staff of River Run Country Club for their help and hospitality conducting the North Carolina Amateur Championship, especially Director of Golf Jim Lohbauer and Course Superintendent Ron Ritchie.
Entry is open to any male amateur golfer who has reached his 13th birthday by the first day of the championship, is a legal resident of North Carolina, is a member in good standing of a club which is a member of the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) and has an active GHIN USGA Handicap Index at a CGA member club that does not exceed 7.4.
