Chris Clemens of Winding River GC dominated the 107 player field at the Indiana PGA Northern Open presented by Pepsi. Clemens fired an 8-under-par 64 at Briar Ridge CC which was enough for a three shot victory over the 2012 PGA Senior Player of the Year, Bill Schumaker.
“My goal was to have fun with each shot and recover well after hitting a bad shot,” Clemens said. “I haven’t been hitting it that well recently and was honestly a little bit surprised by how well I played.”
Clemens’ nearly flawless round consisted of eight birdies coming on holes 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17. He did not card one bogey during the 18 hole competition.
“Winning this event and shooting a 64 was a definitely a confidence booster,” Clemens said.
This is Clemens’ first win this year and second Section win as an individual. His first win was at last year’s Tournament Series at the Trophy Club in April.
Brett Melton, PGA Professional at the Country Club of Old Vincennes took third with a 4-under-par finish.
