Scott Masingell, the leader of Round 1 Super Senior Division, came into this week looking for three rounds in the 70s. The 72-year old from Idaho decided to make a quick trip to Wine Valley Golf Club, Walla Walla Washington, in order to test his skills. He never thought he’d be able to dominate in the manner he did.
“Every now and then you’ll have a streak in which you don’t feel as much pressure,” Masingell saidspan size=”font weight: 400 ;”>. “And that is where I am at the moment .”.
Masingell, a 2004 Pacific NW Golf Association Hall of Fame Inductee has not only lapped around the field. He has lapped the field nearly three times.
Masingell has a 16-stroke advantage over the Super Senior age group, with the current score of 10 under.
He said, “The confidence has grown.” “I was able to clear out my head and build confidence.” It was a great day. I didn’t do everything I wanted to today, but it was still a great day. It was a good day, and although I could have been lower on the scale, it was still great.
Masingell is only one bogey away from the trophy with just 36 holes to play.
After two rounds, Utah’s Dan Parkinson (left) and Louisiana’s Frank Maxwell (right) rounded out the podium with scores of 6 and 7 respectively.
Seniors (55-64)
With only one shot separating him from overnight leader Jerry Gunthorpe, Jon Lindstrom decided to take action on Tuesday’s second-round.
Lindstrom executed his plan almost perfectly, as he followed his Monday 68 by a 3-under-par 69 on the following Tuesday. Lindstrom started his day with a 1 under par score on the back nine. He then lit up holes Nos. Three birdies on holes 1-4.
The Denver native’s 27-hole streak of bogey free holes ended with a bogey at the par-3 6th, but he still holds a three-shot lead going into the final round on Wednesday.
Bradley Karns, who is currently in second position at 4 under par with an even-par score of 72, remained static. Jon Brown is in third at 2 under after a pair of 71s. Kevin VandenBerg is tied for fourth at 1 under with Kevin Sullivan Tom Brandes, and Jerry Gunthorpe.
