Runner-up Finish Redeemed

In his first year of eligibility, Terry Werner of Dyer took
the Senior Amateur Championship at Tippecanoe Lake CC August 24-25 and redeemed his
runner-up finish at the Mid Amateur two weeks ago. “I played solid all day, and
I’m really happy with the round,” he said. He began the final round at two
under, sharing the lead with Tom Jones of Terre Haute, but his second-day 70
claimed sole ownership of the lead. Werner’s string of 16 pars in the final
round was finally broken at hole 17 when he made a six-foot putt for birdie to
move to three under and three shots in front. An approach shot into the sand on
18 forced a bogey, but he maintained a two-shot separation from runners-up Sam
Till of Fort Wayne and Randy Nichols of Brookville. It was Till who edged out
Werner at the Mid Am. “Now we’re even,” joked Werner.
