FLOYD KILGORE

SENIOR MEN’S CHAMPION

Floyd Kilgore skipped dessert and headed to the driving range instead.

The result was a sweet victory at the 2015 Guardian Capital Alberta Senior Men’s Championship.

Kilgore struggled on the second day of the three-round shootout at Red Deer Golf & Country Club, but a late-night practice session paid off as he clawed back to claim his second provincial senior crown.

“I hit balls until they kicked me off because it was getting dark, so I was prepared for the third day.”

The next day, he played great, carding a 4-under 68 to surge to a three-shot victory. He finished with a 54-hole score of even- par 216.

“I worked on the driver a lot that night because at Red Deer, you have to hit your driver straight,” Kilgore said. “I hit it right down the middle and that made all the difference.”
