The 2009 Southeastern Amateur Champion

Derek Chang



Derek Chang came back in 2009 to improve upon his T-2 finish from the year prior.

Derek came back after his freshman year at Minnesota with improved distance and strength and even more talent than he had shown just out of High School.

The tournament was a bit touch and go through Saturday, with a couple of 63's posted by Chang and Binfield, but by the turn on Sunday, the championship belonged to Chang. With his father walking along with him outside the ropes, Derek brought the trophy home. The first time it has remained in Georgia in a couple of years!

Congratulations to Derek and the Chang family on a job well done!

The 2008 Southeastern Amateur Champion



Mitch Krywulycz went wire to wire in 2008, moving from outside the top 1000 SPWAR ranking to 742.



Mitch, who hails from Sydney, Australia is a truly great guy. A guy that we at the Country Club of Columbus are proud to call our 2008 Southeastern Amateur champion.

Mitch plays for the Augusta State Jaguars and will be in his senior year in the fall where the Haskins Commission is looking for big things out of Mitch!

Interestingly enough, Mitch has played in the Southeastern a couple of times and placed around the top 25 each time. But this year was different. Krywulycz fired an opening round 66 which propelled his Am/Am team to victory and himself out to a one stroke lead. After a mediocre round on Friday, Mitch caught fire over the weekend and attributed it to a slight mental adjustment. He shot 67-67 on the final two days to win the 79th playing of the Southeastern Amateur by five strokes.

The Southeastern Amateur Committee would like to say great playing mate!
