Home course advantage proved crucial for a pair of Golf Kenosee members who won provincial golf championships on Thursday.

Golf Saskatchewan held their 99th Senior Men’s Championship from July 24 to 26 at the Kenosee Lake course along with the championship for the Mid-Master’s (plus-40) division. Players could play both divisions if the age requirements were applicable. Going into the championship round Thursday Regina’s Ken Rodgers led both fields but the final 18 holes rewrote the story.

Carlyle resident Jason Mohr carded a 76 on day one and 77 on day two, going into the final round four shots back of Rodgers. The defending senior champion couldn’t hold his one-shot lead. Rodgers posted a nine-over, 81 opening the door for Mohr. Mohr’s third round of 73 was the lowest round of the day by four shots.

Kenosee member Rick Hallberg came in second overall, a stroke behind Mohr but his three round total of 227 was low enough to claim the Senior’s Championship.

Hallberg will lead Team Saskatchewan’s field into the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship taking place in New Brunswick from September 4 to 7.
