Durham youngest ever club golf champion at Pines

By Eric Goodin

It was a weekend for firsts all over the sports world this past weekend. Kyle Busch pulled off the first ever 3-peat in NASCAR by winning the Truck, Nationwide and Sprint cup victories. Arjan Atwal became the first ever India born winner on the PGA Tour and Alex Durham won his first ever Club Championship at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson.In so doing, Durham became the youngest ever Club Champion in the Club's history to my knowledge.

Alex played well both days but had to endure a two hole playoff against Joe Smith to complete the victory. He is an outstanding young man and deserves the victory and congratulations! Way to go young man!

The Lindsey Wilson: A Safe Place to Put Your Children

Jim writes: This is kind of a 'tweener - it's "'tween" the August opening of Lindsey this year and the September opening of that worthy institution 100 years ago.
