MATHER, CALIF. (Sept 5, 2011) -- Jeff Burda of Modesto chalked up his third win of the 2011 season by following up a first round 70 with a 68 Sunday to win the State Fair Senior division by a single stroke over Mark Miller.

"I played well," sadi Burda after the round. "Yesterday I had 4 birdies with one double bogey. Today I had 7 birdies with a strange two-stroke penalty on number 9 by hitting the wrong ball. Same number with a similar blue marking, first time this has ever happened to me."

Jin Knoll was third with rounds of 70-70-- 140 and John Enright carded 73-69--142 for fourth place.

In the Super Senior division Jay Guerin of Fremont shot a final round 66 to win by 3 strokes. Gene Ackerman of Elk Grove finished tied for 2nd at 142 ( 71- 71) with Jim Welsh of San Jose who shot 142 (70-72).
