Biershenk, a Boiling Springs native, carded an 8-under-par
208 in his first AJGA event.
"I played solid even though there were a lot of
shots that I could have hit," Biershenk said. "I
wanted to come in to the Henry-Griffitts and not make
any mistakes and hit the ball well."
Biershenk shot nines of 33-37 en route to his first
victory.
"I feel I can now go to the AJGA Ping Myrtle Beach
and play well," Biershenk said. "If I hit
the ball like I did here then I think I can be near
the top."
Stephen Poole of Spartanburg shot a 5-under-par 67
to bring himself into a four-way tie for second place.
Luke List of Ringgold, Ga., Brian Duncan of Greenville
and Ben Goforth of Shelby, N.C. were also tied at 5-under-par
211. List and Duncan each carded an even-par 72, while
Goforth, the leader after two-rounds, shot a 2-over-par
74.
Francis, a Conyers, Ga., native, shot nines of 36-36
to sail through the final round of the Girls Division
to earn the win of her final AJGA tournament.
"It feels great to go out like this," Francis
said. "I almost gave it away at the end, but I
was able to hang in there and keep my concentration."
The University of Georgia signee had three birdies
en route to her first AJGA tournament victory.
"I was trying to go out and shoot par," Francis
said. "I stayed focused and achieved that."
Rounding out the Girls Division are Julieta Granada
and Amy Middleton. Granada of Bradenton, Fla., carded
an even par 72 to go 1-over-par 217 for the tournament.
Middleton of Citronelle, Ala., finished at 7-over-par
223 after shooting a 74 final round.
