THE 2009 CHAMPION: Faber Jamerson of Appomattox shot a final round 2-under-par 70 to cruise to a five-stroke victory at last year’s SunTrust State Open of Virginia at Independence Golf Club (7,127 yards, par 36-36—72). Jamerson, the head PGA professional at Falling River Country Club in Appomattox, finished the championship at 19-under-par 269 (65-66-68-70) and picked up his third triumph in the event. Mid-amateur Scott Shingler of Haymarket (69) earned low amateur honors and tied for second place along with PGA professional Chip Sullivan of Troutville (68) at 14-under 274. GOOD COMPANY: Jamerson’s five-stroke victory margin was the largest in the event’s history since 2006 when he triumphed by six strokes at Willow Oaks Country Club, joining Chandler Harper (10-time State Open champion as a professional) as the only golfers in the event’s history to win as both an amateur and as a professional. Jamerson also won in 1999 as a 22-year-old amateur, blowing past the field by eight strokes at Ford’s Colony Country Club. With his first Open victory at Independence, Jamerson became the second player to win the championship three times since the two Opens merged 25 years ago. Amateur Keith Decker (Martinsville), who won in 1996, 2001 and 2002, was the last player to pull off the trio of victories. Sullivan also was low professional in 2004, when central Virginia amateur Spence Andrews triumphed. Andrews, who is now a professional, was the last amateur to win the event prior to Roger Newsom’s (Virginia Beach) victory in 2008. RIDING HIGH: Sullivan qualified for the 92nd PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis. The championship is set for Aug. 12-15, 2010. He earned the spot by tying for sixth place in the 2010 PGA Professional National Championship at French Lick Resort in French Lick, Ind., where the top 20 finishers advance to the PGA Championship. Sullivan, the 2007 PGA Professional National champion, posted rounds of 69-73-71-73 to finish at even-par 286. His third round was highlighted by a hole-in-one at the par-3 13th hole of the Pete Dye Course. The ace won him a new Precedent golf car from Club Car. The final standings were determined based on a point system involving both national and PGA Section competitions from Jan. 1 through Dec. 18, 2009. Schuller, who turned 47 on Dec. 18, the day he was declared the national award winner, is the PGA teaching professional at Swaders Sports Park in Prince George, Va. He becomes the first Middle Atlantic PGA Professional to win the national PGA Professional Player of the Year honor. Schuller captured both the TaylorMade-adidas Golf PGA Stroke Play and Match Play championships. He also earned his fourth Middle Atlantic PGA Section Championship, his fourth Section Player of the Year Award and pocketed the Section PGA Professional Championship. Additionally, Schuller was the leading money winner in the PGA Tournament Series. TOUGH TRACK: Of the 74 competitors (40 amateurs and 34 professionals) who made the cut last year, 13 amateurs completed the event under par, while 10 professionals finished in red numbers. Other top point-earners in the field are the following competitors: · Glen Allen’s Ben Keefer (No. 2; 2010 VSGA Four-Ball champion) · Ashland’s Tim Kelley (No. 3; 2010 VSGA Four-Ball champion) · Haymarket’s Scott Shingler (No. 5, the 2009 VSGA golfer of the year and low amateur at last year’s SunTrust State Open of Virginia advanced past U.S. Open local qualifying earlier this year.) Additionally, five of the eight players who advanced to this year’s VSGA State Amateur quarterfinals or further are in the field: Garland Green, 22, of Tazewell (semifinals); Allen Barber, 51, of Yorktown (quarterfinals); Seth Norman, 22 of Norfolk (quarterfinals); Jeremy Wells, 19, of Hopewell (quarterfinals); and Paul Woodson, 20, of Powhatan (quarterfinals). NUMBERS GAME: One of the keys to contending on Sunday is managing a grueling early stretch of the first seven holes. Independence starts with three demanding par 4s measuring more than 430 yards. Competiitors are then faced with a risk-reward par 5 at No. 4, before encountering a tough 4-4-3 stretch at No. 5-7. Competitors get some relief during a mid-round stretch that includes a birdieable par 5 (No. 8), two short par 4s (Nos. 10 and 12) and a modest-length par 3 (No. 11), the only one of four that plays less than 200 yards. “If you can get through the first seven holes around par, you have some opportunities from Nos. 8-13,” says Mike West, the PGA director of golf at Independence Golf Club. “You can get your round going. From Nos. 10-13, you have to play that stretch under par to have a good round. You can’t rely on birdies early or birdies late.” The late Chandler Harper, PGA, claimed the championship a record nine times (1932, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1952, 1960, 1967, 1968 and 1970), including posting wins in five different decades. In 1970, he won the title at age 56, becoming the oldest player to ever win the State Open. Other notable past champions include six-time winner Bobby Cruickshank, PGA, (1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1939) as well as five-time victors Jack Isaacs, PGA, (1949, 1950, 1956, 1958, 1961) and Tom Strange, PGA, (1957, 1963, 1964, 1966 and 1967), among others. Also among those players to capture the championship were three-time winners Keith Decker of Martinsville (1996, 2001 and 2002) and Richmond’s Vinny Giles (1969, 1973 and 1974), who remain amateurs, as well as PGA professionals Faber Jamerson (1999, 2006 and 2009) and Woody Fitzhugh (1984, 1986 and 1988). Other past champions went on to play the PGA Tour such as Lanny Wadkins (1971), Bobby Wadkins (1981, 1982, 1983), Mark Carnevale (1984) and Robert Wrenn (1983, 1989 and 1991). In winning the 1991 title by a championship record-tying 12 strokes at Willow Oaks Country Club, Wrenn shot a tournament record 20-under-par 268, which included a third round 9-under-par 63. Woody Fitzhugh, PGA, also won the championship by 12 strokes over Vinny Giles in 1986.
