Carter Crowned Champion of 24th Lone Star NGL Texas Senior Open
Carter claims Senior Division title.
MONT BELVIEU, TX—Jim Carter of Scottsdale, Arizona claimed the Championship title at the 24th Lone Star NGL Texas Senior Open presented by S & B and Vortech Contracting with rounds of 66-70-63 for a final 54-hole score of 199 (-14).
“I felt really good coming in. I started hitting some good shots. Made some puts on the first day and the last day’” said Carter. “The second day was a little iffy on the greens, but today made up for it.”
Carter headed into his final round tied for third. After sinking five birdies on the front nine and three on the back, he finished three strokes ahead of the field with a bogey free final round of 63 (-8).
“I felt good today. I just hit some good quality shots and then when you can make the putts, it builds a little momentum,” said Carter. “And that’s where it gets fun. And then you get a little nervous and a little adrenaline pumping, and so you have to try and not get too excited. I did a good job, so it worked out nice.”
Ron Schroeder of Montgomery, Texas, and Mike Standly of League City, Texas tied for second in the Championship shooting a 54-hole total of 202 (-11).
Low Amateur honors were also awarded today at the Senior Open. William Shock of Pasadena, Texas was the only amateur to make the cut and finished T22 place, shooting 212 (-1) in the 54-hole Championship earning him the Low Amateur recognition.
The 24th Lone Star NGL Texas Senior Open was contested at Eagle Pointe Golf Club, a 6,740-yard part 71 course in Mont Belvieu, Texas. This is the seventh year in a row Eagle Pointe has hosted this prestigious event.
