WILSON — Salisbury’s Michael Childress, a rising junior at Cannon School, shot 5-under 67 in Tuesday’s qualifying round at Wilson Country Club for the North Carolina Junior Boys Championship.
Childress shot 34-33 and tied for first but lost to Summerfield’s Tripp Summerlin in a playoff for medalist honors. Summerlin, a recent high school graduate who is headed to Appalachian State, made a 10-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole.
Childress will be seeded third for the 64-man match play tournament that begins today. The champion will have to win six matches in four days.
Childress began his day with a birdie on No. 1 and made up for a bogey on No. 2 with birdies on No. 5 and No. 9. He made the turn at 2-under.
Playing in hot, breezy conditions, Childress took advantage of both the par-5s on the back side to move to 4-under. He finished his round by sandwiching birdies on No. 16 and No. 18 around a bogey on 17.
The top seed for match play is the defending champion — Jack Massei of Cary.
The tournament is for players, ages 12 to 18, who haven’t started and college.
Ten qualifiers broke par on Tuesday.
Nick Lyerly, a rising senior at East Rowan who won the North Carolina Amateur on Sunday in Chapel Hill, shot 38-37 — 75 (3-over) on Tuesday but did qualify for match play. Lyerly birdied No. 4, but made a double bogey on No. 5. He made 14 pars and two bogeys.
Childress will play at 8:52 a.m. today against Chapel Hill’s Ethan Lukes, the No. 62 seed.
Lyerly is seeded 45th and will play against No. 20 seed Brandon Einstein of Clemmons in a match starting at 9:11 a.m.
Concord High’s Stephen Carroll, a rising senior, qualified with a 73. He’s the No. 22 seed.
Players advancing to the Round of 32 will play again today around 1 p.m.
Salisbury Academy’s Charlie Barr, a rising eighth grader at Salisbury Academy, nearly qualified for match play. He shot 77. The cutline was 76.
