After three runnerup finishes, Drew Traxel broke through today to win his first Chippeways championship at the Maysville Country Club. Traxel made a five-foot birdie on No. 18 to beat his uncle, Joe Traxel, 1-up in the championship match. The match was all square through 15 holes. Drew went 1-up with a par on 16. Joe birdied 17 to even the match. Drew's match-winning putt on 18 was just his second birdie of the day. The match was played in windy conditions.
