Written by Jack Margaros | Oct 2, 2024 1:57:42 PM

Carl Chang and Eugene Kim took home their second Four-Ball Net Championship in as many years, logging a pair of 61's to win the 36-hole competition by three strokes at 22-under par, becoming the first back-to-back winners in championship history.

Chang and Kim, who won the 2023 championship with a score of 19-under par, fought off an incredible second-day charge from the side of Christopher Go and Clint Yount, who shot a collective net-58. After shooting net-67 the first day, Go and Yount came out as hot as ever for the first nine holes of round two, posting a net-26 (-10), just one stroke worse than Chang and Kim's first-round score of 11-under.

The stretch included three net-eagles and three net-birdies to get Go and Yount to 15-under for the championship alongside Chang and Kim, who shot four-under through the front on day two.

 As the two teams made the turn occupying a spot at the top of the leaderboard, Chang and Kim started to get hot again when it mattered most. After a net-eagle on No. 13, the duo finished with four birdies in their last five holes to eventually pull away. Despite a valiant comeback attempt from Go and Yount, Chang and Kim's six hole stretch to end the championship proved to be the difference.
