Due to heavy rain today, the IGA Senior Team Championship held at Harrison Lake GC was called after 18 holes. During the opening round of play, Skip Runnels and Sam Till Jr. fired a 9-under-par 63 which was enough for a three shot victory over teammates David Tipton and Keith Bowman.
Runnels and Till carded seven birdies yesterday in this best ball format, which came on holes 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 18. They also had an eagle on the 519 yard, par 5, 7th hole.
Both Runnels and Till have won this event in the past. Runnels and partner Randy Nichols won in both ’10 and ’12 and Till won with partner Terry Werner in ’11. This is the first time Runnels and Till have participated in this event as a team and they proved to be a dynamic duo.
