Caldwell leads Morristown to first Shelby County Golf Tournament title since 2013

With the Shelby County Golf Tournament team title already in his back pocket, Asher Caldwell added the individual title with a birdie on the first playoff hole to give Morristown a clean sweep of the championships Saturday.

Playing at Timbergate Golf Course in Edinburgh, Caldwell and Triton Central’s Oliver Gearlds each shot 5-over-par scores of 77 to set up a playoff to determine the medalist.

Caldwell only needed one hole to claim the title.

Southwestern’s Justin Swift (94), Hunter Pappano (98), Tristin Pappano (99) and Caleb Pappano (103) pushed for the county title but came up just short.
