Reid Martin used a final round 4 under par 68 to capture the 2009 Everett Men’s Amateur Championship. The 36 hole tournament played the first round at Walter Hall Golf Course Saturday and the final round at Legion Memorial Golf Course on Sunday.

Martin from Mukilteo started the final round tied for 3rd place after a 1st round 70 and was 3 shots behind Everett’s Brian Barhanovich who opened the tournament with a 68 at Walter Hall GC. Martin quickly fell to 4 back with a bogey on the 1st hole of the final round, but birdies at holes 5, 7 and 9 for a 2 under par 34 on the front nine combined with a 1 over par 37 for Barhanovich had them tied with nine holes to play. Birdies on the back nine at the par 4 12th and par 5 15th and 18th holes were enough to give Martin a 4 stroke victory over Barhanovich who finished with a 75 and Oak Harbor’s Eric McCardle who closed with a 69 for the 2nd best score of the day. Kris Jackson of Everett, Seattle’s Chad Valley, Mukilteo’s Mark Strickland and Chris Pladsen of Snohomish finished in a 4 way tie for 4th at even par 144.

Reid Martin, a stand-out player for Mukilteo’s Kamiak High School and the 2008 4A State high school Champion was playing in his last tournament in the northwest before leaving for college in two weeks to attend Auburn University in Alabama.
