Casselberry erased a three stroke deficit to win the 65-
69 Age Division! Hess took an early lead after round
one with the low round of the day, three under-par, 69.
He fell from the lead after never recovering from a
double-bogey on his third hole during round two,
posting a three over-par 75. Dan Reagan advanced up
the leaderboard playing steady golf with two under-par
rounds of 71-70. Reagan, of Stuart held the lead after
the second round by two strokes over Wyatt Meyer.
Meyer, of Lutz posted an impressive two under-par, 70
in the first round followed by a round two 73 to chase
Reagan from second place. Hess fell to tied for third
place with James Smith leading into the final round.
Despite falling three strokes behind after round
two, Hess kept his eye on the lead heading into the
final round. He followed up a bogey on number one
with a birdie on number two and carded two more
birdies on holes five and 11 for a final round two over-
par, 74. Meanwhile, Reagan struggled not able to
recover from two double-bogies in his final round and
finished the day with a six over-par, 78. As Reagan
faltered, Hess advanced to capture a first place victory
by one stroke with a three day total of 218. Reagan
tied Meyer for second place after Meyer’s final round of
four over-par, 76. Meyer started his final round with a

strokes back, with a tournament total 220. Robert Hess

In the 70-74 Age Division, consistency was key for
Champion Edward Craig, of Orlando who posted two
even par rounds for a 144 total. Craig started his final
round hot with four birdies in his first six holes to turn
at two under-par, 34. After a steady two bogies on his
last nine holes, Craig overtook first round leader, Jim
Brown, of Port Saint Lucie. Brown tied the low round of
day one with a three under-par, 69 but he could not
hold onto his early three stroke lead. Brown struggled
on his final nine holes to a four over-par 76, 145 total,
and second place finish. Craig’s one stroke victory adds
to his growing list of Championship titles with the
FSGA!
Three players faced off in a sudden death play-off
to determine the Champion of the 75 and Over Age
Division. Ron Audi, Harry Cain, and Max Matthews tied
at the top after the final round with a tournament total
of five over-par, 149. Ron Audi, defending Champion,
ended the play-off quickly with a birdie on the first
play-off hole to be crowned Champion. Audi posted
rounds of 76-73 for back to back victories! Audi played
his final nine holes in one-under par which included a
clutch birdie on this final hole to earn his spot in the
playoff.
