COOKE WINS HIS FOURTH CANADIAN MEN’S SENIOR TITLE
Victoria (RCGA) – It was a close race to the finish line that saw three stellar golfers battle it out for national supremacy, but in the end Graham Cooke of Hudson, Que., came out on top at the 48th Canadian Men’s Senior Championship conducted by the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA).
Cooke fired a final-round, 1-over 73 and tournament-total 2-under 286 to finish with a two-stroke victory over John Marlow of Kettleby, Ont. Marlow carded a final-round even par for a tournament-total 288. Recent Canadian Men’s Mid-Master runner-up Frank Van Dornick of Camrose, Alta. finished third at 1-over par for the tournament.
Cooke, who went even-par on the front nine, carded three bogeys and two birdies on the back nine for a tournament total of 46 pars, 14 birdies and 12 bogeys.
“The shot that clinched the win for me was my approach shoton number 11 when I birdied to go up by three,” said Cooke. “John and Frank were tough competitors, and played strong games today, so I knew that I had to play well to protect my lead.”
It was a wire-to-wire battle for runner-up honours, as Van Dornick used three early birdies to jump into second place. Marlow struggled early in the round making four consecutive bogeys, but eventually settled down to card two birdies and seven pars on the back nine.
With his win, Cooke claims his eleventh national amateur championship title - four senior and seven mid-am crowns - breaking the record for most events won by a male amateur. At last year’s championship, Cooke tied the record held by the late Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and Canadian Sports Hall of Fame member Nick Weslock.
“The older you get, the more you appreciate winning a national championship,” said Cooke. “I’ve played with many great golfers in my career, and I’m really honoured to be among great names like Nick.”
The renowned golf course architect and amateur golf legend earned himself an exemption into the 2009 USGA Senior Amateur Championship being held September 12–17 at the venerable Beverly Country Club in Chicago.
