Aberdeen, NC  (May 7, 2015)  -  Pinehurst's Steve Lassiter took the top spot in the Championship Flight in today's Senior Amateur Golf Tour event held at The Legacy Golf Links.  The competition was fierce however as the top five finishers all were within 2 strokes of Lassiter's winning score of 75.  Sanford's Craig Sturdivant was runner-up with a 76, while a trio of Tour members - High Point's Joey Moffitt, Randy Fuquay of Fuquay-Varina and Thomasville's Dan Anthony all were 1 shot behind Sturdivant.

Four birdies helped Lassiter pull off the victory in his second start of the 2015 season.

McLeansville's Ron Brady, a multiple winner "on-Tour" was handed the A Flight crown as Creedmoor's Cecil Lockley left prior to realizing that his 78 would hold up to tie Brady for the top spot.  Under normal conditions the two would then go out for a sudden-death playoff to determine the winner, but due to Lockley's absence Brady was declared the winner.  Once again the competition was tight as 6 players finished within a single stroke of the lead.

Ron Caulder of North Myrtle Beach didn't have that kind of competition "breathing down his neck" as his career best round of 75 for the 10 year plus veteran was 3 shots clear of Pinehurst's Larry Ringen in B Flight action.  Only 3 golfers in a field of 40 were able to break 80 in the flight.

Dwight Davis of Pittsboro also enjoyed a 3 shot cushion in the C Flight with an 80 - the lowest score registered in the flight this year.  Ed Waller of Raleigh was second with an 83.

The Seniors next tee it up at Forest Oaks Country Club in Greensboro.  There are a limited number of spots available for that event on May 14.
