Ward Sweeps The Weekend

This time 3 birdies in the first 11 holes built a lead that could not be overcome and he coasted in at 1 under par 71. Greg Kline took 2nd at even par 72 in is first time in the Senior event. Ken Westerman tied Rick Floyd for 3rd. Ward also took the on course prize and John Raymond earned the All Star Skins Game invitation. Kline, Eric Kiekbusch and Scott Wilsey all tied with 29 putts. Westerman hit 13 fairways and Rick Floyd had 10. Rod Theunissen hit 11 greens and bagged an Albatross on the 4th hole. Don Ward moved to 2nd in all time Senior Open winnings, and hit 15 greens which ties for 2nd in Tour history. His 7th win in 63 starts and big weekend rockets him solidly into #1 in the World Rankings as the Match Play Championship approaches.
