Doug Pool wins 2015 Nevada State Senior Amateur Championship

 

Doug Pool won his 3rd Nevada State Senior Amateur Championship on Sunday at Rio Secco Golf Club.

Pool shot eight under over 54 holes to complete a unbelievable win over a championship field. With his putter working, Pool could do no wrong.

John Turk, Steve Fink and Darrell Lutey all finished in second place. All players seemed to be playing for second most of the tournament after Pool started the event with a 66 on Thursday. He followed that up with a 68 to get to ten under for the event. Fink was the closest after day two with back to back 69’s to start the event.

The Senior Net Division went to Randy Burton, who torched the field in the final round with a Net 69. This is Burton’s first championship with the Southern Nevada Golf Association or the Nevada State Golf Association.

Jim LiCausi, a SNGA regular, finished in second place while Alan Korogness, a Northern Nevada Golf Association player, finished in 3rd.

 

 

 

 

The Super Senior Championship was won by Frank Abbott, who played his normal, consistent way over three days for a 216 total. This is the first Super Senior State Champion in history as the Nevada State Golf Association established this Division at the end of 2014.

Second place belonged to Jim Olsen, who was leading most of the tournament until Abbott took over late in the second round.

 

 

 

 

In the Super Senior Net Division, Tom Richardson outlasted the field for the title. Loren Little came in second.
