Coral Springs, Fla. resident doesn't have to venture too far from home for a breakthrough win
All three players were engaged in a tight Sunday battle until Shaktman gained some breathing room by making three birdies on holes 7, 8 and 10 to go to 2-under on the day. With Slagle and Hughett unable to make a charge, Shaktman's steady play over the final eight holes was enough to fend off his pursuers.
The Senior Division had 16 states represented at Eagle Trace this week.

Marc Engellenner, a resident of Rocklin, Calif., traveled cross country to win the Mid-Master Division with a 5-under score of 211.
Engellenner strung together rounds of 72-69-70 to earn a five-stroke victory over Jon Lindstrom, winner of the 2015 Colorado Mid-Amateur, and Shaw Pritchett (Montgomery, Ala.). After opening with an even-par 72 on Friday, Engellenner fired a 3-under 69 in Saturday's second round to open a three-stroke lead over Pritchett heading into the final 18 holes. He capped off a final round of 70 with a birdie on the last to seal the title.
In June, Engellenner, 43, fired a final round 62 to earn a come-from-behind victory at the 100th Sacramento City Men's Golf Championship at the Alister MacKenzie Golf Course.
The field of the Mid-Master Division was comprised of players from 15 states and three countries.

Stephen Fox (Pinehurst, NC) added to his growing collection of trophies by capturing the Super Senior Division with a 1-over score of 217.
Fox seized control of the tournament on Friday by firing an opening-round 67 which built up enough of a cushion to withstand rounds of 76 and 74 over the weekend and claim two-stroke victory over Steve Humphrey and Edward Turner.
It was Fox's seventh national super senior win over the last three seasons.
