Massillon’s Josh Clay put on a scoring clinic at Oberlin Golf Club on Thursday, winning NOGA’s Great Lakes Auto Scratch Series Stroke Play #4 with a 6-under par 66.
Clay birdied the third, fourth and sixth holes before giving one back with his sole bogey of the day at the par-5 ninth. Then on the back side, he made birdie on the 10th and 11th holes out of the gate, then sealed the deal with par-5 birdies at 14 and 17.
Lyndhurst’s Chris Okeson took second place, two shots behind Clay with a 68. Okeson also made just one bogey on the day at the second hole, then made a birdie at four to turn in even par. He closed with four birdies on the back nine, at 10, 14, 15 and 17.
Fairlawn’s Shaun Kloetzer finished in third place with a 2-under par 70.
In the Senior Division, Canterbury’s Brian Sparrow outpaced the rest of the field as the only player to shoot under par. His 2-under 70 included five birdies at 9, 10, 14, 15 and 18, against bogeys at 2, 11 and 16.
Brecksville’s Allen Freeman finished in second place at even par 72. Senior NOGA POY leader Monty Guest finished third with a 73.
In the Super Senior Division, Mike Brady from Sweetbriar Golf Club in Avon Lake won with a 76.
