The Golf Club of Georgia, Alpharetta, Georgia, April 11, 1995
SHORT BUT SWEET IN THE SOUTH
Shotgun start: 1 :15 p,m . Thunderclap ending: 4 :30 p
.mA cluster of rain clouds the color of wet cement positioned
itself over the eighth green of the Golf Club of Georgia's
Lakeside course as Rick Weddington lit up a long, S7 cigar
that would turn out to be Coca-Cola's token of victory .
His partner, Jeff Dunn, scratched out a bogey 5 as
NVeddington tidied up his par. Then it was off to the
manorial clubhouse to escape a powerful downpour that
wouid make the 1995 Southeast Regional the first
rain-shortened event in the three-year history of the SkyTel
U .S . Corporate Golf Championship .
With four or five holes still to be played, the Southeast
Regional became an official nine-holer . Soon the spikes
were off, the SkyTel messaging pagers were turned in
<strong>and</strong> the unplayed holes were swapped for an early shot
at the G .C . of G .'s impressive buffet spread . Dunn <strong>and</strong>
Weddington huddled with teammates Tom Ludwick <strong>and</strong>
Mark O'Shaughnessy, putting the foursome in a positive
frame of mind . Ludwick, a 9-h<strong>and</strong>icapper whose long <strong>and</strong>
short games were both pumping that dav, had double-bogeyed
the fifth but parred everything else . O'Shaughnessy, a 24,
was 10 over par for the nine of his holes that counted,
with a triple-bogey 8 on the 11th not counted due
to nine-hole scoring .
Ludwick <strong>and</strong> O'Shaughnessy got it going early with a
pair of great par saves on the uphill fourth, their second
hole. Playing into a pre-storm wind, three members of their
foursome squeezed onto the front left portion of the green,
while O'Shaughnessy Hred a 7-iron to 12 feet.
"Yeah, but I'm 3 here," he admitted as he lined up
the twisting, downhill putt . Following his caddie's read,
O'Shaughnessy rolled it in perfectly for par . Inspired .
Ludwick finished off his terrific 80-foot two-putt-over a
swa':e, no less-by dropping a 10-footer for par . Ludwick's
37 earned him honors as the day's Low Gross shooter .
