Easton Renwick joins
Justin Smith as the only players to defend the C.R. Miller
Match Play Invitational title with a victory over Darren
Simons at South Hills Country Club. The match lasted 20
holes.
Renwick built a three-up lead through six holes but Simons
slowly closed the gap on the final nine and won the
eighteenth to force extra holes. Renwick advanced to the
finals with a 2 and 1 victory over Zachary Bird while Simons
defeated Corey Wagner 3 & 1.
This is Renwick’s fourth Association title. Along with the
2008 C.R. Miller title, he has won the 13 and Under Boys
Championship in 2006 and the overall Boys Championship in
2008.
The
tournament was started and conducted by Richie Miller in
honor of his father until he turned it over to the
Association to continue. It was held every year at Fox
Chapel Golf Club where the family were members until 1994.
