Final Results

Shealy and Wise come through in clutch

Bernie Shealy and Jim Wise of Columbia fired a final round 6 under par 66, for a two day total of 10 under par 134 to win the SCGA Senior Better Ball Championship. Playing two groups ahead of the first round leaders, the Shealy / Wise pair combined for six birdies in their final round, including a 30 foot birdie putt made from off the green on the eighteenth hole by Wise.

First round leaders, Tommy Ford (Mt. Pleasant) and Frank Ford, III (Charleston) birdied the eighteenth hole to finish just one shot back. Bob Collar (Hilton Head) and Dave Hambly (Bluffton), playing behind Shealy and Wise, just missed a shot at a playoff when Hambly’s birdie try on eighteen did not fall. “Uncle” Bob Collar had just chipped in on the seventeenth for eagle to put the team one shot back heading into the final hole. Both the Ford tandem and the Collar / Hambly team finished tied for second at 9 under par 135.
