FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

JERRY HINTON AND BOBBY BRAY WENT TO A PLAYOFF TO DECIDE
THE TRUE TEMPER TPGA SENIOR SECTION CHAMPIONSHIP

WITH BRAY COMING OUT ON TOP

 

(Brentwood, TN) Defending champion Jerry Hinton of Memphis and Bobby Bray of Bean Station went 4 playoff holes before determining a winner.  Bobby Bray, a past TPGA Section Champion from 1998 and a past winner of this event in 1999, sunk a 12 footer for birdie on the par 5 #13 to win the TPGA Senior Section Championship and the Tennessee Senior CPC Championship. They both ended the tournament shooting even par for the 2 round total.  In third place was Bob Boyle from Kingsport who shot 1 over for the tournament.  Bill Robinson from Knoxville was 2 over and George Newbeck was 3 over to take home 4th and 5th place, respectively.  The yardage at The Governor’s Club was played at 6752 yards, par 72.

 

This event determined five qualifiers to represent the Tennessee Section PGA in the Callaway National Senior Club Professional Championship which will be held October 23rd-26th at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida.  The qualifiers are Jerry Hinton, Bobby Bray, Bob Boyle, Bill Robinson & George Newbeck.  Good Luck to them all! 

 

A special thanks goes out to True Temper Sports, makers of the #1 shaft on the PGA

TOUR, who made this tournament possible.  We would also like to thank Host

Professionals Tim Manus and Scott Bailey as well as the Governor’s Club for the use of

such a outstanding golf facility.
