Russ Perry of Winston-Salem, N.C. battles from four-shots back in the final round to capture his seventh CGA title at the 11^th Carolinas Super Senior Championship. Perry played a bogey-free final round to shoot a 4-under-par, 68.

Perry got off to a slow start making only one birdie on his front nine, but got a little help from his opponents and found himself only one shot off the lead entering the back nine.

“I couldn’t make a putt but I stayed patient and I finally starting making birdies,” said Perry. “No bogeys for the day is always a great thing. If you get around with no bogeys, that’s always pretty special.”

Perry took his first lead of the day with a birdie on the par-5, 13^th hole and never looked back. He birdie the very next hole and finished off his round with a birdie on the par-4, 18^th. Perry finished with a 7-under-par, 137 total to win the championship by five shots.

Three players, John Fritz of Mint Hill, N.C., Paul Simson of Raleigh, N.C and Tim Pope of Spartanburg, S.C. finished tied for second with a 2-under-par, 142 total.

“I haven’t won an individual CGA event since the (2013) N.C. Senior,” said Perry. “So, it’s been a few years and it’s nice to win an individual title. It’s always great to win a CGA event and hopefully this will get me in the (Captain’s Putter) matches and maybe in the running for super senior player of the year again.”

Perry is the reigning Carolinas Super Senior Player of the Year and is currently ranked first in the 2019 standings.

70+ Division

William Boles of Wilson, N.C. captures the 70+ Division title after a final round score of 7-under-par, 65. Boles had an incredible 11 birdies and four bogeys in his final round. He finished the championship at 6-under-par, 138 total.

“I started off fine and I just tried to hold on what I had,” said Boles. “I found I had fairly good touch on the greens. I wasn’t trying to strain to hit the putt the right speed. It just seemed to be rolling good. I just tried not change anything. I got a little tense at the end there. Overall I hit the ball very close with the irons.”

Boles and his teammate, Robert Desjardins of Matthews, NC, were part of the three-team playoff in last week’s N.C. Senior Four-Ball Championship. The two came up short of the title last week, but Boles was able to get redemption this week’s and win by three shots.

Desjardins, along with Arlis Pike of Kernersville, N.C. and Spike Smith of Pinehurst, N.C. finished tied for second at 3-under-par, 141 total.
