Final Day At Senior Amateur

 Permanent link   All Posts

I am starting to sound like a broken record when it comes to the weather, but we have another perfect day for golf at the 2010 USGA Senior Amateur. Not a cloud in the sky and comfortable temperatures. We should have a terrific final match between the top two seeds from stroke-play qualifying. Pat Tallent was the medalist by one stroke over Paul Simson. And the two golfers are quite familiar with each other. They were grouped together for qualifying and each shared medalist honors at this championship last year.

Tallent is trying to become the eighth medalist, and the first since 1987 (John Richardson), to win the Senior Amateur. Simson is looking for the trifecta -- he's already won the British and Canadian senior titles in 2010. I'm not sure someone has ever won all three in the same year before, so it would be quite a feat.

We'll have live hole-by-hole coverage on the web so stay tuned for that information. -- David Shefter
