GOLF | The cold, the wind, the rain, the sudden-death playoff. None of them stood in the way of the winning team for the annual Henry Tuten Gator Bowl Pro-Am.
The rain had stopped by the time the two teams went to the 18th tee for the playoff but the wind whipping off the St. Simons Sound was affecting swings, ball flights and hands that never warmed up in the few minutes they spent in the clubhouse waiting for the final scores to come in.
Riley, who has played in the Gator Bowl Pro-Am a dozen times without winning, was in the fairway but popped his drive up. After hitting everything he had with a 3-wood, he was still 60 yards short of the green. Only Trace among his team hit the green in regulation. Baldwin double-bogeyed after driving into a penalty area, chipping out then missing the green left, Comstock failed to get up-and-down from the left greenside bunker, Dennis was short on a pitch from the left-front of the green and when Trace missed his 40-foot birdie attempt, the team was going to be 3-over at best and the long, chilly day was over.
"It all kind of fell together, and then we wound up being a great team together," Riley said."On Sunday we watched the World Cup, played a practice round while we were watching the Jaguars on our phones and had a great time. It just carried over to the tournament."
