Huntersville, NC. The APT Event at NorthStone Country Club proved to be a difficult test for the field as there were a few pins that could have been considered “tough day pins”, with the perfect approach shot and a good putt, players could make birdies. However, this was not the case for many who fell victim to putts and chips that ran away from the pin locations and sometimes off the green.
While the scores were higher than normal, it just demonstrated the ability of the division winners to persevere.
