Seville’s Howard Clendenin routed the field, winning the 2020 Senior Summit County Am at Good Park by six shots.
Fresh into senior status as a 50-year-old, Clendenin’s first round of 3-under par 68 gave him a huge five shot head start after Friday’s play. Then Clendenin’s first nine holes in Saturday’s final round shut the door: he put together a tidy 2-under par 34 — which included an eagle-2 at the par-4 12th hole — leaving the field with no doubt as to who the winner would be.
Runner-up David Trier did his best to close the gap, shooting a 1-under par round of 70 on Saturday. But he began the day another two shots behind the lead chasers, so it was just too far to go.
Those lead chasers starting Saturday were Tom Baugh and Rick Bryson, playing along side Clendenin. Both players turned at even par in the final round, but each had an inward nine hiccup to finished with 76. Together they shared the top spot in the Super Senior 60-69 Age Division, however, finishing at 149 for the event.
In the 70+ Age Division, Tom Kloetzer captured the win with a 154 total, good for a two shot victory over Bill Downing.
Clendenin, Baugh, Trier, Rob Schustrich and Ty Kovach won skins on Saturday, listed below. Gift card payouts are to Foxy Golf, available after Wednesday.
