Carroll High School grad Sam Judah enters the event ranked 16th out of 128 players competing.DOTHAN, Ala. -- A Carroll High School graduate is competing in the open division of the World Long Drive Championship.He enters as the 16th ranked player out of 128 players competing and will be a two-seed entering day one.
He’s in just his second year competing for the World Long Drive Championship. He has a personal best of 450-yard drive and looks to win it all. “In a year to pull off a stunt like that would be insane all the training,” said Judah. “I’ve gained 29 miles an hour speed in the past year and a half from all the hard work and training. So, winning it would be insane, it’s a tough uphill climb with the competitors that are in it. It’s going to be a slugfest but man it would feel amazing to come out on top.”
Judah will hit at 11:30 central time on Wednesday as he looks to advance through the five-day championship.
