Kauppila, Atherton, Severance and Fernandez Are 2019 Club Champions

Congratulations to Chris Kauppila, Michelle Atherton, Joe Severance and Bill Fernandez for winning their respective divisions over the weekend in the Hidden Meadows Club Championship.

Kauppila fired a final round 69, and won for the third straight year, overcoming an 8-stroke first round deficit. He was tied with first round leader Joe Perdue going into the last hole. After nearly driving the 18th green, he pitched up to three feet and converted his birdie for the two-shot win, after Perdue’s bunker shot skipped past the hole.

Atherton, entering the final round 6 strokes back of first round leader Stephanie Buxton, toured the front nine in 44 and never looked back, finishing with 89 and winning by 11 strokes.

Joe Severance and Bill Fernandez tied for medalist honors in the senior division. Fernandez held a four stroke lead after the first round, but Severance caught him on the very last hole of the tournament, making a par on number 18.

Thanks everyone for playing!
