SALISBURY — Keith Dorsett won his fifth Horace Rowan Billings Amateur on Sunday at Corbin Hills, ending a string of aggravating near-misses in the major local tournaments.
Dorsett played 29 holes of sensational golf on Sunday to win the championship, piling up birdies and making more eagles (2) than bogeys (1).
Dorsett closed out defending champion Shane Benfield 4 and 3 in the final, ending the match by halving 15 with a routine par.
Dorsett advanced against Kevin Lentz in Sunday’s semis, while Benfield prevailed against Derek Lipe.
The Final Four was a repeat of 2023.
The full story of Sunday’s action will be posted online on Monday and will appear in the Tuesday print edition of the Post.
