There were 17 golfers within four shots of the lead after the first round, but Carpenter hit 17 greens in the final round and was able to play from the rough when others players had trouble. “Anytime I was in the rough I had nine-iron or less, and I was able to get the ball out.” Carpenter on Cape Fear Country Club, “I love this course and always enjoy playing here.” Carpenter just turned 65 in August and this was his first appearance in a Super Senior Championship; he also won the Carolinas Super Senior Four-Ball Championship in April with partner Gary Brown.
