RECAP
After the first round Wayne Fredrick (2018 and 2019 MGA Senior Champion) was in the lead with a very impressive -5 par and Hall was 4 shots back going into round 2. He had his work cut out for him to catch Fredrick – Hall couldn’t have asked for more. A flawless score card – 0 bogies and 5 birdies to win! Hall is now exempt from qualifying for the 2022 State Amateur at Bellerive CC.
Congratulations also to Brian Lovett, St Louis (L) 72/65 137 and Tim Holmes, Springfield (R) 70/67 137 who T2. Fredrick came in 4th. 65/73 138 Jay Gregory, two time Senior Amateur Champion (2017 and 2020) finished T5 with Ed Brown, Independence.

The Senior Net Division also had an exciting finish. Kevin Long, Olathe (75/65n) was in the lead after round one -5 par followed by Arnold Bailey, Linn (81/67n) -3 par and B.J. Kenyon of Ballwin (78/69n) who was -1 par.
