Cary Slabaugh birdied his final three holes on Tuesday at Big Met to capture this year’s Senior Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship title.
Slabaugh fired a 73-72 for a two day total of 145 to win by a single shot over a jam-packed leaderboard. The competition was so close that three players — Mike Borlin, Randy Crider, and David Trier — tied for second place with a two-day total of 146, while five players tied for fifth place at 147 — Allen Freeman, Tim Heavner, Larry Lahnan, Scott Heran, and Steve Blackburn Sr.
Randy Crider won the age 60-69 Division by a single shot as well, firing rounds of 74-72. Crider fought off three Senior Masters players who finished at 147: Larry Lahnan, Scott Heran, and Steve Blackburn Sr.
In the age 70+ Division, Joe Weidner took this year’s Super Masters title with rounds of 79-77 for a two-day total of 156. Geoffrey Nicely came in second two shots behind at 158.
The top-5 players and ties in the overall championship (not already exempt) earned an exemption into this year’s 2019 Greater Cleveland Amateur Championship held at Manakiki Golf Course August 9th – 11th.
