The Honors Course member Brian Kopet could be playing a round of golf with Len Mattiace or Eric Axley during the week of the Chattanooga Classic.
Tournament director Mickey McCamish announced Sunday that Mattiace and Axley have been granted sponsor’s exemptions into the Nationwide Tour event Oct. 7-10 at Black Creek Club.
Kopet qualified for a spot in the tournament pro-am – which pairs a group of amateurs with a participating pro – by winning the 5C Shootout on Sunday at Black Creek.
“It would be fantastic if I was to get paired with one of the exemptions, and I love Len Mattiace,” Kopet said. “I’ve played in one pro-am before, with D.A. Points, and he couldn’t have been nicer. They do a great job with those events.”
Kopet earned his spot in the pro-am by outlasting a field of 18 Chattanooga District Golf Association club champions (or club representatives such as Kopet who played for The Honors course because Steve Johnson had a conflict) in a shoot-out format.
