2006 Dixie Senior Amateur
Pompano Beach, FL (dec 10, 2006) - Our 2006 Champion is Pete McDade of Lakeland Florida. McDade, originally from San Diego, California, managed to survive extremely strong winds to win the Senior Division of the 76th Annual Dixie Amateur Championship.
McDade fired a two over Par 73, to finish at 222, 9-over-par. Rebounding from a double-bogey on the par-4 14th hole, McDade birdied the next three holes to seize the Championship. Runner-Up, Eddie Bass of University Park, Florida also shot 73 to finish second at 223. Strong winds and lightning-fast greens took there toll on first and second round leader Steve Rose of New York City as well as defending Champion Rick Woulfe, of Ft. Lauderdale. Rose finished with an 8-over-par 79 and Woulfe struggled, limping in with a 5-over-par 76.
NOTABLES: Amateur tour regular Norm Swenson and former PGA Tour Player Rick Ten Broeck tied for 10th at 229. Noted sports psychologist to the pros Dr. Bob Rotella, T24 at 235; and Golfweek Assoc. Editor James Achenbach closed with a 78 for a 3 round total of 252.
In the Super Senior Division (ages 65 and older), David King of Sterling, Virginia fired a 1-over-par 72 to win the first Super Senior Division Championship. King rebounded from a first round 78 to win by twelve strokes over Runner-Up Jay Fitzgerald of Tequesta, Florida.
