Posted on July 4, 2021 by AAG Admin

Mitchell Griffin stepped on the tee of the 54th hole of the 2021 Firecracker Open in a 5 way tie, sitting at 10-under par. A birdie would have been good enough, as none of the other four players birdied their final hole, however Griffin made absolutely certain to seal his victory with an eagle 2 on the short par 4 18th. Griffin finished the 2021 Firecracker Open at 12-under par.

Alex Levy, Austen Fulmer, Dallas Hankamer and Alex Ellis ended in a tie for 2nd place with a final score of 10-under. Logan Boatner finished solo 6th place at 9-under par, followed by third round leader Jonathan Alden at 8-under.
