Girton won by four strokes over Athens’ Eli Hicks. Hicks led the field in Class AAA on Thursday with a 73, putting Girton five strokes behind after he shot a 78. But Girton played outstanding on Saturday, the only golfer in Class AAA to card a 76 or better, as Hicks shot an 85, securing Girton’s first-place gold medal.
