2011 Charlotte County Open

2011 Host COURSE 2nd Round

Lamielle holds off Hronek for 2nd CCO title

LAKE SUZY Joey Lamielle beat the weather first, then survived Dave Hroneks surge to win the Charlotte County Open on Sunday.

Lamielles final group walked off the 18th green to sign their scorecards as the first drops of real rain began falling at Kingsway Country Club.
Then, as soon as his score went up, Lamielle beat Hronek for the tournament crown. As with the weather, it was a close call.

Lamielle carded a second-round 71 to win his second Charlotte County Open with a 2-under 142, enough to hold off the hard-charging Hronek by a shot.    Overall, it was sloppy, Lamielle said. But good enough, I guess.
Good enough to spoil Hroneks 67, easily the low round of the tournament. Lamielle became the fourth two-time winner of the event, along with Hronek, Derek Lamely and Gary Sica Jr.
Lamielles birdies on 16 and 17 ultimately won him the tournament, but he still made it interesting on the final hole. His tee shot bounced through the woods, landing a few feet short of the cart path and a free drop.

He opted to lay up, pitching to within 30 yards of the hole. But his approach sailed over the hole and didnt bite, leaving him 25 feet for par. His par putt stopped inches short of the cup.

But he had done enough for the victory.
I struggled yesterday with the speed (of the greens), Lamielle said. Sometimes, you leave it a couple inches short, dead center of the cup, and it gets frustrating. I probably did that six or seven times the past two days.

Hronek, who shot 76 on Saturday at Long Marsh, made things interesting with birdies on three of the first six holes to put himself in the hunt. He finished the round with a downhill 20-footer, recording a 143, the first golfer to finish under par for the tournament.
But he left a 15-foot birdie putt inches short on 17, which would have made things interesting.

My goal was to try to get to even par or 1-under, Hronek said. To win, I probably needed to shoot 65, but the goal was to get back to even-par going to the back. All that was left for Hronek was to wait for Lamielle to finish and see if 67 was low enough for a playoff. When Lamielles score went up on the scoreboard in red marker, Hronek knew it wasnt.

First-round leader Henrik Alexandersson had a rough start with a double bogey on 1 and bogeys on the next two holes to put himself in an early hole he never climbed out of.

After shooting a birdie-free 41 on the front nine, he had a brief spurt with birdies on 10 and 11. But he couldnt sustain the charge.

I thought I might have a chance to come back, Alexandersson said. But then I screwed up again.

Youd have been fooled with his finish on 18, though. Alexandersson split the fairway, then fired a nifty approach that stopped 12 feet from the pin, and he coolly made birdie.

As someone complimented him for the putt, the Swedish native smiled grimly and said, That was the only one.

Scott Harvey won his second Mens Amateur A flight, finishing with a 75 that was the low round in the flight. Jim Pfrogner captured the Mens Senior Amateur A flight, carding a final round 77, the lone round in the 70s in the top senior flight.

 

Erin Fitzpatrick held off Nancy Smith by a shot to win the Ladies Amateur flight, spoiling Smiths Sunday low round of 74.

Bill Pruett and Joseph Razek were winners in the Mens Amateur B flight and Mens Senior Amateur B flights, respectively.
