Savannah City Amateur Championship honors Bacon Park\u2019s 100th anniversary<\/p>\n

\"Corey<\/a>SAVANNAH, Ga. \u2014<\/p>\n

The Savannah City Amateur Championship wrapped up Sunday afternoon at Bacon Park, which marked its 100th anniversary this year as the host location. <\/p>\n

The historic golf course has hosted the city\u2019s amateur championship annually, with the exception of World War II and the pandemic. This year, Patrick Mahaffey claimed the title, shooting a 68 in both the first and second rounds. Mahaffey is set to play college golf next year for Sewanee. <\/p>\n

“It feels great. I’m honored to win,” Mahaffey said. “It’s a great course. And I love playing here.” <\/p>\n

O.C. Welch, the operator at Bacon Park Golf Course, reflected on the significance of the event. <\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of tournaments around,” Welch said. “But it’s prestigious to play in the Savannah City Am.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Savannah City Amateur Championship honors Bacon Park\u2019s 100th anniversary SAVANNAH, Ga. \u2014 The Savannah City Amateur Championship wrapped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871306,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[367174,61362,367175,367182,179285,427,367180,367181,3591,367179,151342,10643,367178,32431,367176,367177,49163,99,79374,273932,28833,2394],"class_list":["post-871305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-100th-anniversary","tag-amateur","tag-bacon-park","tag-college-golf-next-year","tag-exception","tag-golf","tag-historic-golf-course","tag-host-location","tag-lot","tag-o-c-welch","tag-operator","tag-pandemic","tag-patrick-mahaffey","tag-savannah","tag-savannah-city","tag-savannah-city-amateur-championship","tag-second-round","tag-sports","tag-sunday-afternoon","tag-wjcl","tag-world-war-ii","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871305"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871305\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
