Russo did exactly that. The 62-year-old Delray Beach resident made birdies on the first two holes on the North Course to cruise to a five-shot victory. Russo shot a 1-under 71 to finish at 7-under 209 in his first SOS start.
Russo took the lead with a second-round 68 and was the only player in the Senior Division (55-64) to shoot under par all three rounds. Russo finished five shots ahead of Jupiter’s Ken Kinkopf (72) and Brian Keenan (71) of Tampa.
“It’s never easy to win, I don’t care what division or age group you’re talking about,” said Russo, who has qualified for a pair of U.S. Senior Opens. “It’s very difficult to win.”
Stephen Maddalena (71) of Jackson, Mich., and Steve Harwell of Mooresville, N.C. tied for fourth place at 1-under 215.
Three members of The Club at Quail Ridge earned titles in their divisions: Logan Jackson (69-213) won the Legends (70-74), Tom McLean (70-220) won the Grand Master (75-79) and Harry Cain (76-228) won the Super Grand Master (80 and older).
In the Super Senior (65-69), Marc Fried (72-216) of Solon, Ohio won by a shot over Evan Long (71-217) of Charlotte, N.C.
