De Armanville, AL · August 3, 2026

Shifting into the Monday routine brings plenty of local momentum following a competitive weekend across the valley.

The Lead

Sunday afternoon delivered a dramatic finish on the green as Ty Cole secured the Oxford City Championship title at Cider Ridge Golf Course. Entering the final round after opening with a 65, Cole shot a 2-under-par 70 to force a sudden-death playoff against defending champion Tanner Wells.

Cole sank a decisive birdie on the 18th hole to claim victory, marking his fourth tournament win on the 2026 Calhoun County Golf Tour. The win pushes Cole to 1,865 total points in the season standings, though runner-up Gary Wigington remains within mathematical reach heading into the tour finale at Anniston Municipal Golf Course in two weeks.
