Hudson Knapp woke up Tuesday morning thinking he had no chance to win the 74th Annual Press Thornton Future Masters’ 10-under title at the Highland Oaks Golf Course.
“I was just thinking post a good score and hopefully get top 10,” Knapp said.After finishing Monday’s opening round of the two-round event in a tie for 15th place with a 5-over-par 41, Knapp surged behind a five birdie binge over the last seven holes on Tuesday, rocketing up the scoreboard and eventually winning the 10-under division with an even-par 72.
In addition to winning the championship trophy, Knapp also won the Bill Maddox Award, which is given to the 10-under golfer who improves his score the most from the first to second round. Knapp improved by 10 strokes, firing a 5-under 31 after his opening 41. Knapp’s final 72 score was the highest winning total in the 10-under division since 2013 when a 74 won the age bracket.
McCord and Monssoh entered the final round as the co-leaders after 1-over pars on Monday with DeRoy and Rodriguez a stroke behind as the players shifted from the Highlands Course on Monday to the Magnolia Course on Tuesday.After earning a par on the first two holes, Knapp began his birdie assault on back-to-back par 5 holes at No. 3 and No. 4.
“My ball-striking was good,” Knapp said. “I hit the fairways off the tees and my putts were rolling a lot.” He had to wait at the No. 9 green to see if his even par score would hold up as the leaders came to the final hole.
