WINSTON-SALEM — In the 53rd North Carolina Junior Boys Championship at Maple Chase Golf and Country Club in Winston-Salem, Salisbury’s Charlie Barr won two matches on Thursday.

 Barr, the No. 54 seed in the event, won 6 and 4 on Thursday morning in his third-round match.

Barr trailed most of the back nine, but leveled the match with a par on the 14th.

The match was tied going to the 18th. Barr’s second shot on the par-5 hole— a 5-iron from 200 yards out landed just a few feet from the hole.
