A personal record-setting performance by Nashville resident Ryan Terry became a Tennessee Mid-Amateur record-setting performance Saturday in the final round of the 2018 tournament at Black Creek Club.
Terry parlayed a final-round 63 into a 54-hole total of 17-under-par 199 to break the previous event mark of 211, winning the tournament championship by five strokes.
Matt Cooper of Collierville, the tournament’s 2017 winner, and six-time champion Tim Jackson of Williston tied for second with aggregate 214s. Cooper shot a 64 in the final round, while Jackson had a 67.
Todd Burgan of Powell shot the previous record score in 2011 at Cleveland Country Club.
The title was Terry’s first on the state level and his first in an event with multiple rounds. He had won an 18-hole event in the town where he grew up – Fendrick, Indiana – with a 62.
