Former American tennis standout Mardy Fish racked up 43 points to capture the Drive Fore Kids Charity Golf Tournament for the second straight year Sunday at Falmouth Country Club.
Fish, who won six tournaments on the ATP Tour and was a silver medalist at the 2004 Summer Olympics, beat out former NHL star Joe Pavelski (41 points) and former amputee national golf champion Chad Pfeifer (40) in the two-day event, which used the modified Stableford scoring system, which awards points depending on whether the golfer earned a birdie, eagle, par or bogey. Fish earned five points on birdies Sunday and 12 on pars.
Former U.S. soccer standout Taylor Twellman (39 points) and bowler Ronnie Russell (32) rounded out the top five.
This year’s event raised more than $200,000 for the Dempsey Center and the MaineHealth Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital, said Brian Corcoran, the executive director of Drive Fore Kids.
