Chase Smith and Trent Adams turned a second-round rally into a nice payday.

The duo shot a 69 on Sunday to erase a two-stroke deficit and finish first in the championship flight at the Vicksburg Country Club’s Fall 4-Ball golf tournament. Smith and Adams beat the team of Warren Hood and Pierson Waring by one shot to take home an $800 top prize.

Hood and Waring shot 64 on Saturday, but finished with a two-round total of 135 after shooting 72 on Sunday. They still earned the $400 second prize. Smith and Adams finished at 136. Jeff Harpole and John Halpin Caldwell were third, at 138.
