Wilmington Star News - Oct. 17
Simson nips Blackwell at Eagle Point

Wilmington’s John Blackwell battled amateur legend Paul Simson even for 54 holes this week in the Eagle Point Amateur Invitational.
On the 55th hole, Simson prevailed.
After forcing a playoff with a final-hole birdie, Simson, of Raleigh, made par on the first extra hole to win the overall title. Both players shot 1-under 215 on the Eagle Point Golf Club layout where the greens rolled at an Augusta National-esque 13 on the Stimpmeter.
Blackwell led by two shots entering the final nine holes, but Simson closed the gap with a 15-foot birdie putt on No. 10. He briefly pulled even but made back-to-back bogeys and trailed by one shot going to No. 18, a 550-yard par 5.
Blackwell, a two-time Wilmington City Amateur champion, missed the green with his third at the home hole, but chipped within two inches to save par. Then, Simson’s downhill 10-footer curled in the left side of the hole for birdie and a regulation tie.
In the playoff, both players hit good drives, laid up and had short-iron approaches to the green. Playing first, Blackwell hit his third shot into the water hazard in front of the green. Simson played safe to the left and two-putted from the fringe for the winning par.
Simson, 57, has won 19 Carolinas Golf Association major championships, including the Carolinas Senior Amateur last month. He also won his second British Senior Amateur title earlier this summer and was the medalist at the Carolinas Amateur at Cape Fear CC in July.
