ALAMEDA, CA (April 22, 2018) - Gary Vanier made more history Sunday at the Alameda Commuters Golf Tournament, winning the Senior division just two days after wrapping up the inaugural Super Senior competition.
Playing on no rest, Vanier stepped up and posted rounds of 69 and 71 over the weekend to win the Senior title by two over Todd Barsotti, who picked up a nice runner-up at 142 over Randy Haag who posted 143.
In winning the Super Senior and Senior tournaments, the 67-year-old played four-straight rounds at 7 under par, matching his age in one of those rounds.
