Ken O'Brien from Rossdale won the inaugural Eureka Seniors played at Midlands and Buninyong Golf Clubs with rounds of 78, 73. He closed with a great 73 at Buninyong to beat local scratch marker Chris Tatt (75,76) on a count-back with 2 shots further back to Ross Percy (75,78) from Cobram Barooga.
This was probably Ken's last event for the year, and a good year he has had. He is currently third in the Bachli rankings and holds a healthy lead in the Lulofs rankings, with just 2 events remaining for the year.
The Nett event was taken out by Ballarat player Bob Cooper (Nett 72,68) off his 18 handicap to lead runner up Jim Llewellyn from Bellarine Lakes (72,68) by 4 shots.
There was a reasonable field of 16 Women with local Midlands player Jill Morrison winning with 66 stableford points. The scratch was taken out by local favourite Helen Pascoe with 66 points.
The small field of 35 men enjoyed very good playing conditions on both days. The event will move to to an April timeslot next year.
