Browns Summit, NC (June 5, 2014) - Burlington's Gary Roberson was no stranger to the winner's circle on the Senior Amateur Golf Tour, having won the Championship Flight before. He followed up a first round 72 with a 76 today at Bryan Park, The Champions Course, for a 148 two-day total and a 1-shot win over Pinehurst's Arch Reed. Roberson was unique in that he was the only winner in four flights to have tasted victory before "on-Tour".
Long hitting Ron Brady of McLeansville took the top spot for the first time in the A Flight with a 152 total. Like Roberson, he won by the slimmest of margins over Charlotte's Steve Romito who carded a 153. The B Flight was even closer than that as Parker Whitt of Winston-Salem, also competing in his first year on the Senior Tour, had to go 2 extra holes in a sudden-death playoff to defeat Clemmons' Larry White after both posted regulation 2-day scores of 153. When asked, Whitt said "Yep - this is my first Tour win". Whitt actually had to overcome a strong first day deficit coming from 7 strokes back with a closing round of even-par 72.
In the C Flight Patrick Warren had the luxury of a 5 stroke lead after the first day's play firing an incredible 76. The reason it was incredible was that Warren entered the event with a Tour handicap of 15.3, had broken 90 only twice in 9 Tour events, and had yet to win "on-Tour". He finished with a very strong 81 for an 8 stroke advantage over High Point's Richard Hartley and Mocksville's Mark Denton.
"When I started on this Tour, I told my wife I wanted to move up", said Warren. "It'll be OK for me to do that now. I'm ready to go to the B Flight".
The Tour is taking next week off with no event scheduled. Play will resume June 19 at Stoney Creek Golf Club. There are openings available for that event.
