LEE BOOKER TAKES SENIOR AMATEUR TOUR PLAYOFF WIN AT CAROLINA TRACE
Sanford, NC (September 16, 2010) - Lee Booker of Fuquay-Varina, playing on the Senior Amateur Golf Tour, was one of only two B Flight participants to break 80 today on the Carolina Trace Country Club Lakes Course layout. Unfortunately for Booker, a longtime Tour member, the other guy who broke that barrier, Charles Forbes of Greensboro, matched his 78 with one of his own.
Back to the course they went for a sudden death shoot-out. Forbes, a Tour rookie, playing in only his 3rd Tour event, matched Booker in reaching the 336 yard, par-4 1st hole in regulation, but failed to get down in 2 putts. Booker converted his par for the win. "I can lose a playoff pretty fast" quipped Forbes.
While Forbes did miss out on the $170 Mastercard that went to the flight winner, 2nd place was worth a $100 card. To ease the pain just a little more, he also won a cash skin in the friendly "Skins Game" that's a part of every Senior Tour event.
"This isn't the last we're gonna hear from Charles. Booker is a really tough B Flight player, and Forbes gave him all he could handle", stated Tour Director Bruce Hallenbeck.
The A Flight, which went from tees that were almost 300 yards further back than that which the B Flight played, was also won with a 78. Lewisville's Mike Smith beat Galax, VA's John Ashby by 2 shots. "Normally we're likely to have a number of guys in the A Flight break 80, but this course is challenging and the winds whipped up considerably, making it even more of a test", said Hallenbeck.
In C Flight action Durham's Brian Costine nipped 2 players - Archdale's Elby Hatfield and Raleigh's Harold Booker (Lee's brother) - by a single stroke with his 88. Out of 25 C Flighters competing, they were the only golfers to break 90.
Alan Dirk of Sanford, playing on his home course, won the Championship Flight by 3 strokes over Tommy Lee of Knoxville, TN, with a 75. Dirk, no stranger to the winner's circle on-Tour, started fast and looked like an easy victor early, but Lee birdied 2 of his last 4 holes to make a contest of it.
