Exber Wins Canadian Senior Amateur

Nine-time Southern Nevada Golf Association player of the year Brady Exber added another national championship to his illustrious career total with a dominating seven-shot victory at the Canadian Senior Amateur. Exber led by nine shots heading into the final round and coasted by posting a 10-under 278 total. — By Brian Hurlburt, Las Vegas Golf Insider.

“Winning national championships are difficult,” Exber said.

He would know because the victory in Canada is now paired with his 2014 win at the British Seniors Amateur. That year he was also named the Golfweek senior player of the year.

“It was just amazing when I made that last putt,” Exber told AmateurGolf.com about the Canadian win. “Everybody started clapping, and I looked around, I couldn’t believe how many people were watching. I was really nervous starting today, because I had a big lead, and I was thinking ‘OK try to not screw this up’ instead of playing the golf course. You can’t win on the first tee. You gotta play all the holes.”

Exber is now the ninth American to win the tournament. The victory also earned Exber, a member of the Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame, an exemption into the 2019 U.S. Senior Amateur. He also plans to defend his title.

“Absolutely I’m going to defend my title, I’m looking forward to it,” Exber said. “I really do look forward to coming to Canada—it’s one of three tournaments in the world for senior amateur golf.”
