It was a great event at the 2016 Stoplight City Shootout. The Rockwell Tour event sported a strong field, with hitters taking it deep all day with numbers surpassing 400!
There were experienced hitters and names you recognize at previous events like Allen, Champion, Swinford, Hunt, Christman, and new youthful talent in sport like Collin Phillips, Danny Mikrut, Cody Jansen, and Andrew Eigner. Also a name to watch for in Long Drive is Ryan Newell who competed in his first event at the SCSO, who is just north of 40 and will soon be gunning for the 45+ age division.
It was another great showing from 20 year old Danny Mikut with a 2nd place finish, who previously came onto the Long Drive scene last month in Memphis at the BluffCity Shootout.
There were great match ups in the finals, with Allen going 401 and Hunt going 391, and also in the match between Krisher and Phillips with each hitter getting 4 balls in the grid over 350, but Phillips edging out Krisher 361-355.
When it came to the end of the day, it was Collin Phillips walking away with the win, the crystal trophy, and the winners watch from Rockwell Watch Company.
Thank you to all who helped and volunteered at the event, you're much appreciated! Thank you Jim Humphrey and Chippendale Golf Course for being the host site.
