23rd North Carolina Senior Amateur Championship

May 13-15, 2008

Cedarwood Country Club, Charlotte, NC

Final Results

Charlotte: Gary Strickfaden is in shock. “I had no idea I had a chance, especially with Simson so far ahead of me.” Normally, with Simson five shots ahead of you going into the final 18, you’re playing for second at best. But even Paul can have a bad day and it started with a double on the first hole. He never righted the ship and his six over 77 was one short of a playoff. “This win is going to take a long time to sink in” said Strickfaden. A Missouri native and retired CPA, Strickfaden tried senior professional golf for eight years. He got his amateur status back last October. Gary finished runner up in the 1990 Virginia State Amateur at the age of 46 and until today was his best finish in a major amateur event.

The best round of the day and tournament belonged to Logan Jackson of Winston-Salem. His seven birdie 67 effort was marred only by one early bogey and a double bogey on the final hole. “I’m a choking dog” was the first thing Logan said as he dropped the card on the scoring table.
