BANDON, Oregon (May 8, 2013) - A perfect
week
of golf came
to a
close on Wednesday with the two teams
leading
the
championship
division coming down the stretch dead even
heading into the
par-5
18th
at Bandon Dunes.
Greg Wardle and Andrew Matagrano were on
fire,
but Ben
Hargis
(from
Alexandria, Louisiana) and partner Trey Coker
were hanging
on.
With
Wardle -- after hitting driver off the deck onto
the
green in two
--
in
position for his third straight birdie, Hargis
holed
a 40 foot
birdie
putt,
then pranced around the green like Hale Irwin
at
the 1990 US
Open at Medinah.
Wardle two putted.
The teams headed to No. 10, where
Matagrano
made a 10 foot
birdie
as Hargis' shorter birdie attempt slid by.
Net winners
Dieter
Dammeier, Chris Lawton |
Senior
champs Sherman Haggerty and Ben
Whipple |
Wardle and Matagrano made 17 birdies in the
final two rounds.
They
posted 64-66 after starting 74-69. As Ben
Hargis,
a four-time
USGA
participant, remarked before the playoff,
"It's the bombers versus the tacticians."
Sherman Haggerty and Ben Whipple took their
third senior title.
The
pair were on-again off-again and on again, As
they alternated
Rounds
in the 70s with rounds in the mid 60s. Today
the
El Dorado Hills
California duo closed with a 68 to win the title
over Bryan Lynn
and
Greg Lockard of Bakersfield.
This time, the bombers won.
Hagerty and Whipple also won the tournament
back to back in
2009
and
2010.
Longtime participants Dieter Dammeier and
Chris
Lawton won
the
net
division cruising to victory at 30-under 255.
They
came close to
matching the tournament record of 248 set
last
year.
A special thanks goes out to all the staff at
Bandon Dunes
Resort
and
to
the players from around the country for
making
the 12th annual
tournament our best ever.
