Ray Collins is Senior champ
Ray Collins edged Mike Harmon for the 2011 MT Senior Open title on a hot and muggy Sunday at Kensington Metropark. Collins birdied the 413-yard par-4 18th, one of 7 birdies on his round, to finish at 1-under 70 and a 1-stroke win. The victory is Collins’ 4th Tour title in 61 starts over 8 years on Tour and made him the 28th player to earn $300 in prize money. As the 2011 Senior Open champ, Collins is exempt from qualifying for the TOUR Championship at the Polo Fields in September.
Harmon, a rookie from Ypsilanti, posted his first top-4 finish in his 8th start on Tour. A birdie at the 17th tied Harmon for the lead, but a bogey at the finishing hole avoided a playoff. Tom Moran (37-35 – 72) finished 1-over par and took 3rd place while Tom Hoelzle (34-39 – 73) finished in solo 4th as the field of 24 seniors all survived the 100 degree heat index .
