TROY — Kris Anderson was already “King of the County”
And he added the Miami Shores club championship over the weekend for his second straight win, after having to miss the Troy City Championship last month.
And he did it in style, with birdies on three of his final four holes Sunday for a two-shot victory over Ross Ferrell, the two-time Troy City Champion who was attempting to defend his Miami Shores club championship.
“I knew it was going to be a battle,” Anderson said. “Ross (Ferrell) was going for his fourth straight win (he didn’t play in the Miami County tournament). Birdieing three of the last four holes is what did it for me.”
Anderson and Ferrell both shot 70 on Saturday to share the opening round lead and Brian Robbins was one back after a 71.
And nothing changed on the front nine.
“I wasn’t playing my best,” Anderson said. “We all three shot 38 on the front. So, it was still a battle.”
Anderson went two up on Ferrell after pars on the 10th and 12th holes.
“Really, I thought I could make a move on 13 (a short par 4),” Anderson said. “But, I ended up making par and Ross (Ferrell) birdied it to get back within one.”
It was still a one shot lead after both parred 14 and birdied 15.
On the par-4 16th, Anderson hit a gap wedge to 15 feet and made the putt for birdie.
“That put me two up,” Anderson said. “But, I was a little tentative with my approach on 17 and had to get up and down for par. Ross (Ferrell) made a birdie and I thought, here we go,”
On the par-5 18th, the pin was in front.
“I played conservative with my second shot and hit a five-iron because the pin was in front,” Anderson said. “I was just trying to get up there close to the green and hit it in the bunker.”
And he didn’t leave himself and easy shot.
“It was a little bit on the downslope and I hit a really nice bunker shot (to five feet),” Anderson said. “Ross missed his birdie putt and I made mine.”
It capped a three-under par back nine for a 71 and a three-under par 141 total for Anderson.
Ferrell finished two shots back after shooting a 73.
Matt Mauer charged up to third place, following an opening round 75 with a 73 Sunday for a 148 total.
Jacky Chen and Ryan Groff shared fourth with 149. Chen had rounds of 73 and 76 and Groff had rounds of 74 and 75.

Poettinger had opened with a 76 for a 147 total.
