San Antonio Senior Champion
SAN ANTONIO, TX (May 7, 2006)--Competing in his first senior event and coming
off a neck injury that sidelined him for most of the winter, Chuck Ellenwood of
Seguin fired consecutive 72's for an even-par 144 total to win the Greater San
Antonio Senior Championship.
Because of his injury, Ellenwood had only been
playing for the last five weeks and was wavering on whether to enter the
tournament. But his regular playing group from Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country
Club talked him into it. "[They] really talked me into playing. They told me,
'Well Chuck, you can't possibly finish last'." Ellenwood entered, and now has
his first amateur tournament win.
"My victory is dedicated to my youngest sister and all women battling breast
cancer", said Ellenwood.
Phil Carey, Dewitt Carnes, and Bob Delgado finished tied for second at 3-over
147, with Ken Lawrence another shot back in fifth. Bruce Benner and first-round
leader Jerry Smith finished tied for sixth at 149.
Among past champions, Mike Arnold (1998, 2003) and Leon Walthall (2002) tied
for 8th at 150, Terry Sullivan (2004) finished 12th at 152, Al Pineault (2005)
tied for 18th at 156, and Ray Cevallos (1993) finished 37th at 163.
In the Super Senior Division, Paul Perry held off Calvin Drake by one shot,
closing with a 78 for a 157 total. First-round leader Carl Heiden finished solo
third at 159.
The tournament was reduced to 36 holes because of weather, as storms washed
out the secoond round on Saturday.
