Carrington Kicks Competition in the Taint!

North Myrtle Beach, S.C.
August 28, 2010

The Pineapple Cup's own Nature Boy, Lindsay Carrington, ran away with the 2010 Pineapple Cup: WAR GAMES! in striking similarity to Ric Flair's 1992 Royal Rumble win. Carrington relied on a steady driver and putter to lay his hands on the trophy he helped create.

"I know it won't show, but in a way I'm humbled by this victory. Mentally I was ready for this weekend, starting with the Ipod playing "Man in the Mirror" as I drove into Caledonia. It certainly helped that I was paired with two veteran players, Mark Wilson and Andrew Tucker, to make the fabulous Four Horsemen of the Pineapple Cup. The energy between our team was amazing - we were rooting for each other the whole time."

The 2010 Pineapple Cup marked a deviation from the traditional Ryder Cup format. Instead, competitors were drawn into three teams of three players. The competition then resembled a rumble over 54 holes.

Carrington's 2010 triumph marks the second year in a row in which a Pineapple Cup Committee member claimed the coveted trophy.
