Three UGA Board Members Share Medalist Honors in UGA Senior Match Play Championship

Bill Probst and Jim Kane, two UGA board members, each shot 71 on the difficult Valley View Golf Course to share medalist honors in the qualifying round of the UGA Match Play Championship, but that is just the first step in a grueling test that now turns to match play that includes a very strong, competitive field of 32 match play finalists.

 

Allen Simkins, an immediate past UGA board member, was medalist in the Senior Division with a three under par 69, and his first round opponent, Paul Larsen, the 16^th qualifier, shot an 85, nearly a shot a hole behind Simkins. There were only seven players within ten shots of Simkins and so he is a heavy favorite to advance to the semifinals.

 

Matches are scheduled through the week and the finals in all divisions will be Friday.
