Congratulations Austin Meng

 

Austin Meng, from our very own Men's Club, beat the World's #1 ranked amateur long drive champion (Will Cashin) Aug. 15th!  Austin won the 2019 Amateur Long Drive Championship Regional Qualifier at Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC. Hitting into the wind and rain on a slightly uphill grid, Austin launched his first and longest drive 315 yards. Will "Smashin" Cashin hit his longest drive 312 yards for 2nd place. This is Austin's first long drive competition. 

On Friday the 16th, each of the competitors best drive of two was used.  Autin's second drive of 307 yards got him a tie for seventh and a spot in the 16-man field advancing to Saturday.  The top qualifier hit 330 yards.

Rain played havoc on the competition on Saturday, forcing the competition indoors.  Hitting into a video screen on an indoor range, and getting only one drive in the round of 16, Austin got off a drive of 352 yards.  That left him in 10th place, 10 yards shy of eighth place and a spot in the quarterfinals.

Congratulations Austin!  What a fine showing in your first appearance at the ALD Amateur Long Drive Championship.
