SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI -
Former Vols All-SEC golfer Philip Pettitt finished tied for 15th at the Price Cutter Charity Championship Presented by Dr Pepper. The event was held from Thursday August 9th to Sunday, August 12th at the Highland Springs Country Club in Springfield, Missouri. The Price Cutter Charity Championship is part of the PGA's Web.com Tour. Web.com is a developmental tour for the PGA Tour. The tour is a valuable training ground for the PGA's future stars as it provides a great opportunity for players to earn their PGA Tour card.
On Sunday, Pettitt started the day tied for 23rd. He then proceeded to shoot a solid final round of 3 under to finish 15th. Over the four days of play, Pettitt shot 71, 64, 69 & 69 to post a 273 (-15). Pettitt's finish was quite impressive considering on Friday he started the day in 102nd place. That kind of play has served Pettitt well this year. On the year, Pettitt is 49th in total tour earnings.
The Price Cutter Charity event winner was Ohio native, Chris Wilson. Wilson posted rounds of 68, 67, 65 & 67 for a final total of 267 (-21). To see the full standings click here
