34th Annual Senior Better-Ball Championship

Williams and Rollins Hold On For Victory

Frank Williams and Lewis Rollins shot a second round of 67 and a two day total of 132 for a two shot victory in the 2007 SCGA Senior Better Ball Championship. Finishing in second place were Defending Champions Randy Johnson and Joe Padgett at 134.

Williams and Rollins, both from Greenwood, were steady throughout the round taking advantage of key shots and minimizing mistakes. The tandem combined for a total of 6 birdies on the day and only one bogey, which came on the difficult par four 6th hole. Two close approach shots from Williams on both 7 and 8 for birdie negated that error and the team went on cruise control through the rest of the round to clinch their first Senior Better Ball Championship.

In the first flight JD Siconolfi and Danny Woodward from Walhalla won with a score of 138. Columbia natives, Bucky Grice and Lee Jordan, shot a two day total of 142 to capture the Second Flight.

The 2007 SCGA Senior Better Ball Championship was played on the par 72 – 6,413 yard, Santee Cooper Country Club in Santee, S.C. The field consisted of 64 two-man teams playing Best Ball format conducted over thirty six holes. The Senior Better Ball Championship is one of 18 Major Championships conducted annually by the South Carolina Golf Association.
