Robert Funk completes his U.S. Senior Open with a 72

Robert Funk carried the amateur banner this weekend as the only non-professional to make the cut

PEABODY, MA (July 2, 2017) - On Sunday Robert Funk of Canyon Lake, CA completed his week at the U.S. Senior Open hosted by Salem Country Club with a 2-over 72 to finish 8-over and tied for 54th. Funk, the only amateur to make the cut, birdied twice on the opening nine but also double-bogeyed twice on the side to turn in 2-over 37. After the seesaw frontside Funk, who won the 2013 Southern California Mid-Amateur and 2012 Crane Cup, steadied himself and played even-par flawless golf on the back nine. For Funk his best round of the week was his opening day 1-under 69 that saw him birdie three-times and bogey twice. Funk was 2-over for the round after 14 holes but he surged down the stretch birdieing three of the final five holes, including the last.
