Chris Maletis and Bob Wernick prevailed in the Senior and Super Senior divisions, respectively, at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif.
Pool and Tom Studer were among the final round contenders but Maletis' second-round 71 proved to be too much of a cushion for the field to overcome.
Studer finished third after shooting 73-78-75--- 226.
Bob Wernick fired a final-round 75 to close the gap and win the Super Senior Division.
Wernick was seven shots off the pace after Monday's first round but battled back with a 78 Tuesday and a 75 Wednesday to upend Bob Fouke and Walt Martin, who both finished at 233 --- one shot back.
Wernick, Fouke and Martin had wiped away the competition early on but the final three remained very competitive even throughout Wednesday's final round.
After a first-round 71, Martin was three shots better than Fouke and seven better than the eventual winner. A second-round 84 by Martin evened out the trio a bit before Wernick's spectacular final round.
