Buzz Fly continued his streak of stellar play for 2009 by rebounding from an uncharacteristic 7 over par 79 in round two of the TGA Mid-Amateur Championship at Holston Hills Country Club with a tournament-low, 8 under par 64 in the final round to earn runner-up honors.
After opening with a solid even par 72 in round one, that included 16 pars on the difficult Donald Ross layout, the next two days were a display of opposites for the 54 year-old Memphian who stunned the local golf community after winning all 6 of the Memphis Golf Association titles in 2009. Fly carded 5 bogies and two double-bogies in round two in route to the 79 that apparently had ruined his hopes for a top finish in the Mid-Amateur Championship.
The final round, however, would be vintage Fly as he carded 6 birdies and an eagle in route to his 64 that vaulted him from a tie for 22nd position, 8 strokes off the lead, all the way to the runner-up position - 3 strokes behind winner Jeff Golliher of Knoxville.
