Team cup winners- CharlotteSOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- For the second time this decade, Kim Mansfield of High Point, N.C., is the champion of the Harris Teeter Senior Amateur Tour. Mansfield shot a two-day total of even-par 143 to win the championship Wednesday. Mansfield, the 2002 champ, held off a charge by four players who finished a stroke back. He credited his opening round of 68 at National Golf Club for giving him the cushion needed in the final round at Pine Needles. "I played well both days. The difference was I made a lot of putts in the first round," said Mansfield, a former member of National Golf Club. "I knew my way around the course at National, but still you have to make the shots." A quartet of golfers finished a shot back of Mansfield in the Championship Flight. Rick Luzar of Pinehurst took second on a scorecard playoff, while Brad Kroll of Charlotte finished third after shooting the low round of the tournament, a 67. Fourth-place Denny Adkins of Myrtle Beach also closed with a 67. In the A Flight, first-round leader Tommy Lee of Knoxville hung on to post a total of 151 and a three-shot victory over Chuck Latham of Pinehurst. The B Flight winner was Orlando's Craig Stone at 156, while Lamont Ellison of Indiana took top honors in the C Flight at 173. Randall Robbins of Smithfield, N.C., made a hole-in-one in the final round. Robbins, a member of the Pinehurst tour, aced the 160-yard 12th hole at National with a 6-iron. It was his second career hole-in-one. In the battle for the team cup, Charlotte (1,276) rallied to edge Pinehurst by four shots. The Triad was third at 1,283. This was the 11th annual championship of the HT Senior Amateur Tour and it drew a record field of 210 participants.
