By From staff reports — sports@islandpacket.com
The duo of Mark White of Hilton Head Island and Larry Steedbergen of Farmington, Mich., powered their way through two matches Saturday to easily win the men's doubles division final at the seventh annual Daufuskie Island Adult Tennis Championship. It was one of three division finals determined in the second day of competition that concludes Sunday.
Other division winners were Arnold Bradshaw of Montgomery, Ala., in the age 70 men's singles and Josef Fodor of Hilton Head Island in the age 75 men's singles.
"I played better than usual today," said White, whose team lost only four games in two matches. "A lot of the credit goes to my partner. We picked each other up all day long."
Play continues at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, with finals to be contested in six more divisions, with John Chryst of Bluffton and Pat Child of Hilton Head Island having a chance to return as champions. Chryst has advanced to the finals of the 65 men's singles while Child is in the finals of the mixed doubles competition.
