The 2009 Harris Teeter Senior Tour completed its 14th tournament of the season at Pine Island CC. Thanks to the staff who gave us some of the best playing conditions all year. The greens were not only cut but rolled to give the players the best possible putting surfaces. Thanks to GM Larry Yount and head professional Mark Hofstetter for giving us a date on tour, we look forward to coming back next season.

He also birdie 7 to make the turn at 34. With birdies at 11 and 16 Sennett came into 18 3 under par but the tricky 18th green enduced a 4 putt double bogie for his only blemish on the day.
