Dothan natives Luke Thornton and Mason Crowder walk to the ninth green side-by-side, park their pushcarts and proceed to finish their round in the 15-18 age division of the Press Thornton Future Masters on Saturday.
Thornton’s approach shot went well past the hole, making for a tough downhill putt. Crowder had a fairly long putt for birdie, but it was well within reach.
All four were among the last 14 to make the cut with two-round scores of 150 when it was determined Friday night after the final group came off the course. However, it had been a successful week for the youngster, who had made the cut for the first time and finished with a three-day 230, which included back-to-back scores of 75 the first two days. He had played in the 10-under competition, which doesn’t have a cut, then missed cuts while playing the last two years.
“I was just glad I made the cut first of all,” Crowder said. “And then when I saw that I did, I said, ‘OK, tomorrow just go out there and play a regular round of golf and not really think about scores, because you know you’re not going to win, but you’re just trying to have the best time that you can.’”“I really was putting well but they weren’t going in,” Crowder said. “That was my main thing. I was putting good putts, but they were just lagging there … it was close.
“I really wanted to win the tournament, but also coming out with low Dothan is pretty cool with all the other players on the trophy and stuff like that,” Crowder said.“He was probably beating me the whole time,” Steed said. “I shot 5-over on the front and he was 1-over and then we got to the last hole and we were even.
