Tom Winegardner won the Maryland Senior Amateur at Talbot Country Club after an eagle on the back nine

EASTON, Md. (Sept. 13, 2018) – Tom Winegardner is the Maryland Senior Amateur champion after finishing two shots clear of the field at Talbot Country Club. Chalk it up to a final-round eagle at the par-5 14th.

Winegardner got off to a powerful start in the first round with a 4-under 68. That included six birdies and two bogeys. It left Winegardner, who advanced to the second round of match play at the U.S. Senior Amateur last month, with a one-shot lead on Pete Hiskey entering the final round.

Thursday was a rough day for both competitors, but Winegardner managed to hold on just tight enough to win the title. Thanks in large part to the eagle, Winegardner had a second-round 3-over 75 to finish at 1 under. He was the only player to finish 36 holes under par. Hiskey, meanwhile, backed up his opening 69 with a 78. At 3 over, Hiskey found himself in fourth.

Kevin Allis was runner-up to Winegardner with rounds of 74-71. He had the best score in the final round, but it still left him 1 over for the tournament.

Lee Flemister was third at 2 over after rounds of 74-72. Tom Grem, the winner in 2016 tied for fifth at 4 over.
