On a windy day, Pete DeTemple stayed steady to win the Washington Metropolitan Senior at Chantilly National GC
CENTREVILLE, VA (September 27, 2017) - On a very windy day, Pete DeTemple backed up his first round 71 (-1) with an even par 72 today to win the Washington Metropolitan Senior Championship by one shot over Larry Martone, the round one leader.
Martone started round two with back-to-back birdies on the opening holes and then ran into plenty of trouble on the front to give up the lead, seemingly for good. A two under 34 on the back nine nearly did the trick, but he came up one short. DeTemple was mostly steady, with five bogeys and four birdies over the two days.
Bill Engel won the Super Senior Championship with second round of 74 to win by one over Dick Blackburn who jumped up the leader board with an even par 72 in round 2. George Washburn brought in a second round 73, with a back nine of 34, to move up the board and grab solo third.
