Savannah Thompson and John Rea were big winners all season in the Tin Whistles-First Tee Tour events, and it was no surprise when they closed out the year deadlocked for the championship with wins in the tour finale held on the Pinehurst No. 6 Course.

Thompson, a West End resident who is entering Pinecrest High School and looking forward to playing for Patriots’ golf coach Sandy Sackman, and the 13-year-old Rea, of Pinehurst, each won four of the six tour events this summer.

Both of the players will have their names engraved on the championship trophy, which resides in the Tin Whistles display at the Tufts Archives in the Given Memorial Library. They and their families will also be guests of the Tin Whistles at the annual Christmas Gala, where they will be presented with a replica of the cup.

Thompson shot 71-82—153 to win the Girls’ Red Tee Flight. Caroline Rea, of Pinehurst, was second with 168, Marisa Daquil-Kaw, of Fayetteville, third with 177.

Rea shot 74-76—150 in the Boys’ Green Tee Flight to edge Landon Toler of Farmville by three strokes. Bryan D’Ostroph, of Whispering Pines, was third with 162.

Three Whispering Pines residents dominated the Boys’ Championship Flight as Connor Riley won with 76-77—153. Brandon Mawyer was second with 154 and Jacob Sauer third with 156. All three are members of the Union Pines High School team.
