SAVANNAH, GA (December 1, 2016) -- Doug Stiles closed the Senior Oglethorpe Invitational with a 1-under 70 to finish 3-under and as the one-stroke winner of the Senior Oglethorpe Invitational. Stiles completed play at Wilmington Island Club just in front of defending champion Chris Hall.

Hall, who won a four-man playoff last year, rebounded from a 1-over 72 round on Wednesday with a 3-under 68 before ultimately falling one-stroke out of a playoff.

Rusty Strawn (-1) began the day in second place but settled for third while Alan Hampton (+6), Bryan Hancock (+6) and Steve Reid (+6) shared fifth.
