At the immaculate Kinloch Golf Club, Pennsylvania's top senior was handed the trophy by living legend Vinny Giles
After 36-holes, the Mid-Amateur division at the Giles Invitational was up for grabs, with several top players perched in the top 5. But in the senior division, Rick Stimmel took control with a 6-under 66 on Saturday, giving him a nice cushion of five shots heading into Sunday's final round.
Despite the big lead, the Pennsylvania standout briefly saw pressure from Mike Sposa, who made a strong run and reached 4-under through the middle of his round. But a few late bogeys stalled that charge, and Stimmel calmly cruised home to a five-shot victory at 4-under 212.
His second-round 66 proved to be the defining performance of the division—the low round that created separation and ultimately decided the championship.
Jack Larkin, Sr. finished second at 1-over 217, with Sposa and Mike McCoy tying for third at 2-over 218. Matt Sughrue rounded out the top five.
