Hendley took an eight shot lead into the final round, and although Duff Wagner shot 68 to Hendley's 72, it was too late in the tournament to change the outcome
Starting the day with an eight shot lead, Hendley was looking to go mistake free in the 20-25 mph winds and he did just that. The 56 year old Greer resident managed three birdies against only three bogies for his even par score 72 while the rest of the 60 player field averaged a score of 79.5. As close as it got was when Duff Wagner, a 55 year old from Taylor’s playing in the group ahead, got within five after a Hendley bogey on the par four 15th. Hendley quickly recovered with his final birdie of the tournament on the par four 16th and with two finishing pars, was able to hoist the trophy. Hendley and Wagner teamed together in March to win the SCGA Senior Four Ball Championship
