Davis Petty of Spartanburg, S.C., made sure there was no drama down the stretch in winning the 11-12 age division of the Press Thornton Future Masters on Tuesday at Highland
Petty, a 12-year-old, was the leader after the first round following a 6-under-par 66, followed it up with a solid 1-under 71 in round two and finished off with a 3-under 69 to win by six strokes over Hudson Justus of Gainesville, Georgia, who shot an even-par 72 on the final day. Justus won the 10-under title two years ago.

Petty had plenty of fans following him during the three days in Dothan, from family members to friends from South Carolina.
