Arlis Pike Three-Peats at Super Senior
Arlis Pike of Kernersville, NC, Three-Time Carolinas Super Senior Champion
SPARTANBURG, SC - Final round results of the 7th Carolinas Super Senior Amateur Championship of the Carolinas Golf Association hosted by the Country Club of Spartanburg in Spartanburg, SC on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 (6068 yards, par 35-37—72, 69.4/122).
Two-time defending champion Arlis Pike of Kernersville, NC fired a final round three-under par 69 to match his winning score from last year’s championship of 135 to win his third consecutive Carolinas Super Senior title. The 67-year-old Pike edged round one leader Rick Luzar of Pinehurst, NC by two strokes.
There was excitement down to the finish. Luzar was trailing by two strokes with four holes to play but quickly closed that gap with consecutive birdies on 15 and 16 to tie for the lead. Pike then birdied the par-5 17th hole to take a one shot advantage. Luzar was unable to hole a chip-in birdie attempt on the final hole leading to a bogey and sealing a two-stroke victory for Pike.
Carolinas Super Senior Amateur Championship is open to any male amateur golfer who has reached his 65th birthday, is a legal resident of North Carolina or South Carolina, is a member in good standing of a club which is a member of the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) and has an active GHIN® USGA Handicap Index® at a CGA member club that does not exceed 15.4.
