Lexington, NC - (September 17, 2015)  -  Andy Seddon of Apex joined the Senior Amateur Golf Tour in mid-season this year.

Since joining, He has been a regular fixture at every Thursday event.  today was his break-out day as his 73 at Sapona Ridge

Country Club beat 12 other Championship Flight players for his first Tour win.

Seddon was the model of consistency, carding only a single birdie.  He simply posted par after par for the victory.

The A Flight took an extra hole to determine a winner as both Charlotte's Steve Romito And Rockingham's John East

finished regulation play with 76s.  Unfortunately there were no dramatic "fireworks" in the playoff, as Romito took home the

first place prize with a simple par on the first extra hole.  It was Romito's first "Tour" win in over 2 years.

The B Flight had a clear-cut winner as Advance's Dawson Strider shot a 78 for a 4 shot win over Durham's Neil Bleau.

Strider, a 15 year veteran of "Tour" play had his "A-game" working today.

Things were not so simple in C Flight competition as three players finished with 84s after their original 18 holes.

Bill Heasley of Denton, Mike Hunter of Greensboro and High Point's Terry Scarlette all headed out for a "sudden death"

playoff.  Once again it was quick work with Heasley winning on the first extra hole.

Next week the Seniors will travel to Pinewild Country Club - The Magnolia Course for their next event.  Limited spots are

available for that tournament.
