AWENDAW, South Carolina (May 14, 2015) --
Todd
Hendley finished his wire to wire victory in the
57th
SCGA Senior Championship at Bulls Bay Golf
Club
with a final round of 72 for a tournament
total of 11
under par 205. Making a strong run, but
having too
much ground to gain, was second place
finisher Duff
Wagner with a final round best score of 68
for a 211
finish.
Starting the day with an eight shot lead,
Hendley
was looking to go mistake free in the 20-25
mph
winds and he did just that. The 56 year old
Greer
resident managed three birdies against only
three
bogies for his even par score 72 while the
rest of the
60 player field averaged a score of 79.5. As
close as
it got was when Duff Wagner, a 55 year old
from
Taylor’s playing in the group ahead, got
within five after a Hendley bogey on the par
four
15th. Hendley quickly recovered with his final
birdie
of the tournament on the par four 16th and
with two
finishing pars, was able to hoist the trophy.
Hendley
and Wagner teamed together in March to win
