THE 2012 CHAMPION: Professional Jay Woodson of Richmond delivered two consecutive rounds of 4-under-par 68 on the weekend to blow past the field to post a four-stroke win at the 2012 State Open of Virginia at Independence Golf Club.

In claiming his first State Open title, Woodson finished the championship at 13-under 275. Charlottesville’s Weston Eklund closed with 2-under 70 to take home low amateur honors and was runner-up at 9-under 279.

Woodson, who plays primarily on the developmental NGA Tour, became the seventh player to triumph at the VSGA Amateur and the State Open. The others are: Keith Decker, Vinny Giles, Chandler Harper, Tom McKnight as well as brothers Bobby and Lanny Wadkins.

“Any time you win a tournament, you are going to advance your golf. You are going to improve. You are going to learn from it,” Woodson says of the State Open win. “It didn’t pan out at Q-school (last fall), but I definitely drew on a lot of those instances at the State Open when I was on The Big Break.

“Every chance you have to perform under pressure to try to win a golf tournament, or hit a big shot or make a big putt, you can always have it in the back of your memory bank.”

Woodson won back-to-back VSGA Amateurs in 2002 (Bayville Golf Club in Virginia Beach) and 2003 (central Virginia’s Kinloch Golf Club in Manakin-Sabot).

‘BIG BREAK’ FOR WOODSON: This season, Woodson is a member of the cast of The “Big Break Mexico,” a reality show on Golf Channel with a cast of six men and six women competing in a mixed-team format.

Through week eight, Team Maya has its full roster intact with Woodson, Taylor Collins, Liebelei Lawrence and Chad Schulze still standing.

Woodson’s interest in competing on The Big Break, where an exemption into a PGA Tour event is a main part of the prize for winning, stems from his openness “to any opportunity to advance and move up to the next level,” he says. “It’s a great experience, not only to have the opportunity to get an exemption, but to put yourself in those pressure situations. They’re like nothing else I’ve ever dealt with in professional golf.”

Woodson can talk only about episodes that have aired, but has shown the ability to help his four-person team with clutch shots or putts.

Last year’s victories came from a rekindled desire to play after Woodson took 2011 off because the grind of mini-tour golf had worn him out. In June 2012, Woodson claimed the ComSouth Classic forhis first win on the NGA Tour since 2004, rallying from a six-stroke deficit with 15 holes to play before winning in extra holes.

GOOD COMPANY: PGA professional Faber Jamerson the PGA general manager at Falling River Country Club in Appomattox has won the State Open on three occasions (1999, 2006 and 2009)

Prior to Roger Newsom’s eight-shot romp in 2011, Jamerson’s five-stroke victory margin of victory at the 2009 State Open was the largest in the event’s history since 2006 when he triumphed by six strokes at Willow Oaks Country Club, joining Chandler Harper (10-time State Open champion as a professional) and Tom Strange as the only three golfers in the event’s history to win as both an amateur and as a professional. Strange won as an amateur in 1957, the last year before the VSGA and VPGA began playing separate Opens. Strange won VPGA Opens in 1963, 1964 and 1966. He won the VSGA Open in 1967.

With his first Open victory at Independence in 2009, Jamerson became the second player to win the championship three times since the two Opens merged 28 years ago. Amateur Keith Decker (Martinsville), who won in 1996, 2001 and 2002, has also collected a trio of victories.

Jamerson also won in 1999 as a 22-year-old amateur, blowing past the field by eight strokes at Ford’s Colony Country Club.

NEAR VICTORIES: Troutville’s Chip Sullivan, the PGA director of golf at Hanging Rock Golf Club in Salem, has finished as the championship’s runner-up four times in six years, having posted second place finishes in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009.

Sullivan has won the Maryland Open four times and won the PGA Professional National Championship in 2007. He was also was low professional in 2004, when central Virginia amateur Spence Andrews triumphed.

SULLIVAN EARNS SPOT IN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Sullivan finished in a four-way tie for fourth place at the PGA Professional National Championship at Sunriver Resort in Oregon in late June.

With the showing, Sullivan earned a berth in the PGA Championship set for Aug. 8-11 at the famed Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y, and secured a spot on the PGA Cup team that will spend a Ryder Cup-type experience in England later this year. The event will be conducted at Slaley Hall’s Hunting Course in Northumberland, England from Sept. 20-22.

FROM ONE MAJOR TO THE NEXT: Three of the four semifinalists from this year’s VSGA Amateur Championship and four of the eight quarterfinals from the event are in the field: Clifton’s Ji Soo Park (runner-up); semifinalists Jake Mondy (Blacksburg) and Mikey Moyers (Stanardsville), as well as quarterfinalist Bryce Chalkley (Richmond)

NUMBERS GAME: One of the keys to contending on Sunday is managing a grueling early stretch of the first seven holes. Independence starts with three demanding par 4s measuring more than 430 yards. Competitors are then faced with a risk-reward par 5 at No. 4, before encountering a tough 4-4-3 stretch at No. 5-7.

Competitors get some relief during a mid-round stretch that includes a birdieable par 5 (No. 8), two short par 4s (Nos. 10 and 12) and a modest-length par 3 (No. 11), the only one of four that plays less than 200 yards.

“If you can get through the first seven holes around par, you have some opportunities from Nos. 8-13,” says Mike West, the general manager and PGA director of golf at Independence Golf Club. “You can get your round going. From Nos. 10-13, you have to play that stretch under par to have a good round. You can’t rely on birdies early or birdies late.”

SELECT COMPANY: With a fourth title, three-time winners Keith Decker of Martinsville (champion in 1996, 2001 and 2002) and PGA professional Faber Jamerson of Appomattox (winner in 1999, 2006 and 2009) would join Danville’s John Bruce (1974-77) as four-time victors in the championship.

HISTORY LESSON: The State Open dates back to 1924 and this will be the 113th playing and 86th year of the championship. This year marks the 28th anniversary of the “merged” Opens – prior to the merge in 1985, two State Open championships were held per year from 1958-85 by the two governing organizations, the VSGA and MAPGA.

The late Chandler Harper, PGA,claimed the championship a record nine times (1932, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1952, 1960, 1967, 1968 and 1970), including posting wins in five different decades. In 1970, he won the title at age 56, becoming the oldest player to ever win the State Open.

Other notable past champions include six-time winner Bobby Cruickshank, PGA, (1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937 and 1939) as well as five-time victors Jack Isaacs, PGA, (1949, 1950, 1956, 1958, 1961) and Tom Strange, PGA, (1957, 1963, 1964, 1966 and 1967), among others. Also among those players to capture the championship were three-time winners Keith Decker of Martinsville (1996, 2001 and 2002) and Richmond’s Vinny Giles (1969, 1973 and 1974), who remain amateurs, as well as professional Faber Jamerson (1999, 2006 and 2009) and golfers who went on to play the PGA Tour such as Lanny Wadkins (1971), Bobby Wadkins (1981, 1982, 1983), Mark Carnevale (1984) and Robert Wrenn (1983, 1989 and 1991).

In winning the 1991 title by a championship record-tying 12 strokes at  Willow Oaks Country Club, Wrenn shot a then-tournament record 20-under-par 268, which included a third round 9-under-par 63 (his 20 under aggregate was matched in 2010 by amateur Evan Beck of Virginia Beach). Woody Fitzhugh, PGA, also won the championship by 12 strokes over Vinny Giles in 1986.  

CHAMPIONS IN THE FIELD: Past State Open champions in this year’s field include the following nine competitors (a – denotes amateur):

- Ted Brown, Richmond (2005)

- Jon Corliss, PGA, Virginia Beach (2003)
