Brad Van Kirk sweeps city titles in winning Senior Clarksville City Amateur
The win was the fourth this summer for Van Kirk, who also won the senior title at the Wendy’s Invitational this spring and the Commanding General’s senior championship in June. “This has been just an incredible year of golf for me,” Van Kirk said. “My putting has been better than it has ever been in my entire life and like I’ve said before ‘thank you Griff Rudolph’. “He’s been beneficial to my putting and he’s given me some swing tips and it’s all led to it being a really fun year.”Ray Johnson, Jr., finished second after posting his second straight round on even par 71 to finish at 142, five shots back. There was a three-way tie for third place in the championship flight between Jim Duttweiler, David Edmondson and two-time defending tournament champion Joey Long. Duttweiler took third, in a scorecard playoff, with Long coming in fourth and Edmondson fifth. In the Senior Division First Flight, Jim Mashburn fired the only the only below-par round to win the flight, coming in with a two-under 69 to finish with a two-day total of 144. Steve Blackwell (74-71=145) took second, while Rick Richardson (74-73=147), Jeff Whitlow (76-71-147) and Greg Guinn (75-72=147) all tied for third place in the flight, with Richardson taking the third spot in a scorecard playoff and Whitlow fourth and Guinn fifth. In the Senior Division Second Flight, Ted Crozier, Jr. fired a final round one-over 72 to finish with a 156 (84-72) total to win the flight by six strokes. Three golfers – Billy Gray, Sam Maxwell and Don Hartledge – all finished tied for second place with 162 totals, with Gray (84-78) taking third in a scorecard playoff, while Hartledge (82-80) and Maxwell (84-78) fourth. Dean Lambert (82-81=163) finished fifth. In the Super Senior Division, Harold Hensley posted the lone sub-par round of the day — a two-under 70 — to finish with a total of even par 142 (72-70) to take the title, four shots ahead of runner-ups Richard Ashbrook (74-72=146) and Bill Wilkinson (70-76=146); with Ashbrook taking second in a scorecard playoff.
