Lundren wins East Side Amateur to earn 2nd Title in 2008

Darren Lundgren earned his second victory of the young 2008 season on Sunday at Belk Park GC, capturing the 2008 East Side Amateur.  Lundgren won the Normandie Amateur earlier this spring in a narrow victory over Skip Berkmeyer, who opted to not defend his 2007 East Side Amateur this year. 

Lundgren entered the final round of the East Side Amateur one shot behind John Anderson and Brian Kennedy and tied with Duke standout, Adam Long.  As the final pairing turned to the Back Nine, it wasn't Kennedy or Anderson who presented the biggest challenge to Lundgren, but rather last year's runner-up Mitchell Gregson who began the day two show behind the leaders, that would push Lundgren to the end.

Gregson's bogey on the final hole gave Lundgren the room he needed to capture the championship.  After making a bogey on the tricky par 4, 15th hole, Lundgren bounced back with a birdie on the par 5, 16th.  Two pars later and Lundgren was raising his second trophy of the season.  

First round leaders, Brian Kennedy and John Anderson both played their first nine holes over par.  Kennedy quickly bounced back with an eagle at the par 5, 11th hole.  A bogey on the par 3, 17th hole ended Kennedy's chances of winning.  Anderson bogeyed the 12th and 15th holes before making birdie on the 18th to match his front nine 37 to finish at 2-over par for the final round.
