HUNTSVILLE, AL (May 15, 2016) - Bryan Askew, 51, of
Decatur fired a final round 70 to finish at two-under
211
to win his first Alabama Golf Association championship
title. Askew, a sales manager for Acme Brick, was the
only player to break par for the championship.
“I really hit the ball great this week,” Askew said.
“I
have played a number of rounds at Huntsville Country
Club and that experience helped me.”
Playing with Askew, 36-hole co-leader and two-
time
State Senior champion Emile Vaughan of Pike Road
was
tied for the lead after nine holes. But an inward nine of
37 derailed his hopes for a third title.
Del Wood III of Vestavia Hills gave his best effort
to
chase down Askew. His final round 69 placed him in the
clubhouse lead at even par 213. However, Askew
parred
his last two holes to seal the victory.
In the Super Senior (65+) division, Ron Aldy of
Tuscaloosa (218) took home a two shot victory over
Wayne Gardner of Mobile (220).
Defending champion David Hancock of Greenville
posted a final round 74 to finish in 15th place at 222.
Awards were presented to the low three 54-hole
scores in the 50-56 and 57-64 age divisions as well as
the overall Champion, and to the low three scores in
the
65+ age division that played a shorter course. In
addition, the Champion will have his name engraved on
