Legends Championship (70 & Over)

The Conservatory at Hammock Beach - Palm Coast

November 5-6, 2024

Three Crowned at Inaugural Legends Championship

 


PALM COAST, Fla. – Roughly a month after the original dates of the championship, three players were crowned victorious at the inaugural Legends Championship at the Conservatory at Hammock Beach. Stan Zabytko, Jim Carley, and Brian Sachs each won their respective division with great play through two days of competition.

70-74 Division

Stan Zabytko led the way after round one at even-par, with three birdies to match his three bogies. He held a one-stroke lead over Kevin Macy and Bob Casamento, the club’s Senior Men’s Champion. Four other players sat within four strokes of Zabytko’s lead heading into the final round.

The 70-74 division proved to be a tight race throughout Wednesday's final round. With two holes to go, Zabytko and Bobby Lundquist were separated by one stroke. A costly bogey on 17 by Lundquist would give Zabytko the cushion he needed to finish as champion at two-over par. Lundquist would finish in solo second place, followed by two players, John Milton and Mark Weston who tied for third.

75-79 Division

The 75-79 Age Division gave us our only two under-par rounds during day one of the championship. Leonard Carothers had six birdies and an eagle en route to a two-under-par round. This was good enough for a one-shot lead over Jim Carley, whose three-under par back nine propelled him into solo second after day one. Sam Robinson rounded out the top three with an even-par 72.

Charles Hauser birdied five of his first 12 holes to find himself just one shot out of the lead heading into the final stretch on Wednesday. He would ultimately drop a couple of shots on his last few holes to finish in solo third place. With one hole to play, Carley led Robinson by one shot. Carley would double-bogey and Robinson would bogey to put both players at one-under par and force a playoff. On the first playoff hole, Carley got up and down for birdie to win the division.

80 & Over Division

Brian Sachs finished round one with an even-par 72. This gave him a four-stroke lead over Joe Campagna, who sat in solo second place with a four-over 76.

All players improved on their first-round performance on Wednesday. Sachs fired a one-under 71 to secure victory in his division by four strokes. Campagna also shot a one-under 71 to finish in solo second place.
