The Chattanooga Tournament Players Championship was always one of the late Mike Feher’s favorite golf events.
In fact, it would have been one of his choice tournaments to win, but he never had the opportunity. Feher passed away last year from colon cancer.
However, Sunday at Council Fire Golf and Country Club, Feher’s son and namesake Mikey Feher hoisted the trophy and remembered his late dad’s most fervent golf wish.
Feher won arguably Chattanooga’s most prestigious city event, beating Cres Dodd 1-up in 20 holes in the 26th edition of the tournament.
“It’s a big deal for me,” said Feher, a recent graduate of Lipscomb, where he played college golf for four years. “You live around here and it’s the pinnacle of golf events for amateurs. My dad loved this tournament.”
