JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (May 3, 2026) – Windy conditions defined the final round of the 2026 Jefferson City Four-Ball Championship, as a brisk morning gave way to warmer temperatures while steady gusts challenged players throughout the day at Jefferson City Country Club.

In the Senior Division, Buddy Allen (Pevely) and Brian Hall (O’Fallon) secured the championship with a final-round 4-under, 68, finishing at 10-under, 134. Their round marked the lowest score of the day in the Senior Division and was highlighted by a stretch of four birdies in five holes from Hall on Nos. 7 through 11.

Two teams tied for second at 8-under, 136, as David Strickland (Fenton) and John Moore (Hannibal) were joined by Wayne Fredrick (Springfield) and Brian Lovett (St. Louis).
