HENDERSONVILLE, NC (September 26, 2017) - Arlis Pike of Kernersville, NC 70th birthday will be one he will never forget, as it was celebrated in style by winning the 10th North Carolina Super Senior Championship hosted by Hendersonville Country Club in Hendersonville, NC.

Pike started the day two shots off the lead but was able to come from behind using an eagle and two birdies for a second round 68. Pike's two-day total of 137 was enough for him to win his 6th Carolinas Golf Association Championship.

"I love playing in these, but I really play to win," said the excited birthday boy about his victory.

Paul Simson of Raleigh, NC finished one shot back of Pike in solo second. First round leader Ron Carpenter of Creedmoor, NC finished in third place.
