Luke and Shane Sewell, also of Athens, won the second flight with 108 points, followed by William Scheibe III and Nate Scheibe of Franklin (103) and Will and Ted Chapman of Nashville (100).
Fairfield Glade's Ed and Jeff Dailey finished fourth with 89 points.

In the Tiger Division (back tees), Memphis' Will Garner was the winner with a drive of 292 yards, while Nashville's Ted Chapman won the Nicklaus DivisioN (blue tees) with a blast of 274 yards. The Palmer Division (red tees) was won by Franklin's Scotty Hudson with a drive of 212 yards.
