Aiken, SC--Wynn Solle of Pinehurst, North Carolina defeated Michael Carlisle of Aiken, South Carolina on the first playoff hole with a par to win the 21st Mid-Amateur Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association hosted by Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina.

Solle, 44 and a semi-retired project manager, is used to playing on older golf courses. "Coming to a great golf course like Palmetto is a real treat", stated Solle. "They just do not build them (golf courses) like they used to. Being a member at Pinehurst Country Club and playing number 2 a lot really helped me." Palmetto Golf Club was founded in 1892.

"I am very happy to have won this championship, although I wish we could have played all three rounds." The championship was shortened to 36-holes in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the United States this week.

Solle has had a very productive summer. He won the Pinehurst Country Club Championship and the Moore County (NC) Amateur plus had a hole-in-one back in April. "It's just been a great year", he said.

"This is only the second time that I have played in this championship", Solle remarked. "Last year was the first major tournament that I have played in since college".

Carlisle, the golf coach at USC-Aiken, came out of nowhere by firing a tournament low round of five-under par 66 to finish at even par. He was the leader in the clubhouse for most of the day. Carlisle's round included six birdies versus one bogey. Carlisle is a member at Palmetto Golf Club.

First round leader Robert Wooten of Winston-Salem, North Carolina struggled in his final round by shooting a six-over par 77 to finish in a tie for thirteenth place.
