Byron Nelson didn’t make it to our Classic nor did Tiger, however Paul Hinton brought his entire bag of tricks and showed the field that he was for real. When Co Commissioner Adams stood during the trophy ceramony and said, "Paul Hinton is the winner", I heard several members say "who is Paul Hinton". Paul, better known as the Southside Kid, spends most of his time at Lake Spivey Country Club trying to make a name for himself. Mr. Hinton made quite an introduction May 18 at the First Annual AGT Byron Nelson Classic played at CountryLand Golf Course in Cumming, GA. Paul drove 10 fairways and hit 6 greens in regulation and shot a net 66 for the day to tie Gary Hoyle. Sudden death was won by Hinton at the 9^th hole at CountryLand to capture his first event victory.
