A Jack Henry & Associates-sponsored team, in which Adam Harris aced No. 15, won the A Flight of the morning round, and a Whitlock Company-sponsored team took top honors in the afternoon to complete the Springfield Celebrity Golf Classic presented by Great Southern Bank.
The two-day golf tournament, held Sunday and Monday at Highland Springs Country Club, was a fundraiser for the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, which also hosted the Shrimp Social presented by Med-Pay, Inc. on Sunday at the Oasis Hotel & Convention Center.
Harris’ ace on the 110-yard No. 15 helped Jack Henry fire a 55. The team also featured Jeff Rogler, Ben Tummons and Robert Broadbent.
Harris, of Ozark, said he used a wedge and it was his third career hole in one.
“It’s always a good feeling when you get a hole in one,” Harris said. “The last time I had a hole in one was three years ago.”
The B Flight winning team belonged to USA Mortgage, which fired a 61 behind Matt Soutee, Travis Bell, Jeremy Shadel and former big-leaguer Scott Terry.
C Flight’s winner was the Independent Printing team of Michael Overton, David Robbins, Janice Brandenburgh and Jim Brandenburgh. The team fired a 64.
