Fleming wins SCS Professional Championship, Burd, Graves, Combe also move on to national event
Tim Fleming continues to pile up the victories in South Central PGA Section events, shooting a 5-under 67 in the second round Tuesday to come from behind and win the South Central Section Senior Professional Championship at Battle Creek Golf Club in Broken Arrow.
Combined with his first-round of 2-under 70, Fleming moved to 7-under and two shots clear of first-round leader Corey Burd of Bailey Ranch GC in Owasso. Burd added a 70 his opening 3-under 69 to finish alone in second at 5 under. Tim Graves of Oklahoma City was third at 4 under.
The top three qualify for the 2020 national Senior PGA Professional Championshp Oct. 15-18 at PGA National at Port St. Lucie, Fla. Because Fleming, the director of golf at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club, ia already eligible by virtue of having finished in the top 30 at the national event in 2019, one more player from the section earned a spot, and that went to Jeff Combe of Tulsa, who shot a final-round 68 to tie Brent Wilcoxen of Tulsa for third, then won a playoff.
Complete scores from the event are here. The event coincides with the section’s Hall of Fame Tournament which includes some golfers who were not attempting to qualify for the national event, including Art Romero of Texarkana who tied Burd for second. Those results are here.
In the Super Senior Division, Michael Jonges of Bella Vista, Ark., shot 10-under-par to run away with the title, while George Glenn of Tulsa was second at 4-under.
