David Schultz puts together a clutch final round to win the 2016 Senior Men’s Championship
Schultz finishes -2 to win the Senior Men’s, Howard Broun wins the Super Senior.
Stony Plain, Alta. (Alberta Golf) – After leading at the end of round one, and being tied for first after round two, David Schultz finished what he started in Thursday’s final round at Stony Plain Golf Course in the 2016 Guardian Capital Alberta Senior Men’s Championship. Howard Broun finished off his tournament play by winning the Super Senior Championship, he carded a +1 in his final round to go +7 overall.
The final round was anything but predictable. An eagle on hole 6 by Christopher Hairrell put him in position to catch Schultz. However, Schultz’s three birdies and another stellar, bogey free front 9 earned him the win. “Getting down to the last five or six holes, you really need to know,” explained Schultz when asked about the intensity of having a competitor in a different group so close in score. “It’s a little tough not quite being sure there, but I kept the head down and just tried to hit shot after shot.” Schultz finished at -1, 71 for the day, and -2 overall.
Schultz’s win earned him the first spot on the interprovincial team, the second went to Christopher Hairrell. The third and final spot had to be determined by a playoff between Brian Brown, John Russell, and Frank Van Dornick, who were all T3 after 54 holes. Thanks to a birdie on the first playoff hole, Frank Van Dornick emerged victorious and rounded out the interprovincial team.
