Mebane, NC  (May 21, 2015)  -  Larry Kelly of Mebane served up a big helping of 'home-cooking' to his B Flight brethren  in the second Major Championship of the 2015 Senior Amateur Golf Tour schedule.  Mill Creek Golf Club is Kelly's home course and he took full advantage of local knowledge to post his lowest Tour round ever.  His 73 gave him a comfortable 3-shot cushion over Pittsboro's Glenn Wright.

Kelly, like the winner's of the other 3 flights contested today all receive automatic qualification into the year-ending National Championship event held in November at Hilton Head, SC.  That event will draw over 200 participants from the 12 other Senior Amateur Tours located throughout the East Coast.

In A Flight action, Sanford's Chuck Smith enjoyed an even larger margin of victory over runner-up Jim Blaylock of Winston-Salem.  Smith's even-par 72 was 4 clear of Blaylock.  "Both Kelly and Smith's scores were made even more impressive by the fact that it rained on and off during the event", noted Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck.

The low scoring continued in the C Flight as Durham's Rick Brewer bested 30 other flight members with an extremely low C Flight score, barely breaking 80 with a 79.  Raleigh's Ed Waller was 3 back in 2nd.  Eleven players broke 90 in the flight.  "That's gotta be close to an all-time record", quipped Hallenbeck.

Johnny Adams of Cary led the Championship Flight with a 73 from tees that were almost 400 yards longer than that of his lower flight counterparts.  Joey Moffitt placed with a 78.

The Senior Tour will take a week off for the Memorial Day Holiday.  Play will resume on June 4 at Southern Pines Country Club.  There are openings available for that event.
