Randy Reeves Ends Kevin Lacey’s GLT Streak in WV Open Anthony Amick Wins First GLT APA Event Randy Reeves playing course #2 at the Charleston, W.V. Course. 25 May 2002 - South Charleston, W.V. - Randy Reeves made the long trip from Montgomery, AL to Charleston last year to capture the Great Lakes Tour 2001 Travelodge Open. This year Reeves returned to defend his title and reached the winner’s circle in the West Virginia Open. Reeves played with both consistency and confidence, firing three consecutive rounds of 26 to finish with a 30-under par score of 78. Reeves was able to adjust well to the brand new carpeting laid on course 2 just days before the tournament. Many players were not nearly as successful in making the required adjustments, resulting in many putts left short in the hot sun. Randy Reeves and Anthony Amick (left to right). Cincinnati’s Kevin Lacey, who have won his last four GLT events made a last round charge from four strokes back, but cooled off toward the end of the round. Lacey’s final tally of 81 put him in second place. Jay Hadsell and Jim Cruse tied for third at 84. Each received a GLT spot, but a playoff was necessary to determine the winner of the World spot. Hadsell claimed the World spot in an 18-hole playoff over Cruse. Anthony Amick, APA winner of the West Virginia Open. In the APA division, Anthony Amick of Canal Winchester, OH found himself in a three-way tie for the lead at 63 entering the final round of competition with fellow Columbus amateurs Andy McCoy and Ronnie Pavlov. Amick sizzled the final round, shooting 26, while the other co-leaders faltered. His final score of 89 earned him a six shot victory over Karen Hastings of Penn Hills, PA. Barb Mingo of North Olmsted, OH finished third at 96. Hastings and Mingo each received a GLT spot. No match play was played in the West Virginia Open.
