Day One - Men’s and Women’s Senior & Super Senior State Amateur
Usually, late August in McCall, Idaho feels like the perfect place to put your feet up and relax a little bit. At Jug Mountain Ranch on Thursday though, the air that hung over the golf course was not only filled with the light scent of smoke, it was also heavy in intensity.
The Super Senior Women lead the charge as the first group away at 9 am sharp, and at the end of the day Nancy Bastida lead the way shooting a +18 score of 90 to lead by two over Kris Hopkins who fired a score of +20 (92). Joanne Odiaga fought her way around the golf course, improving on her front nine score on the inward nine by nine strokes to finish the day with a +33, 105.
The Senior Women were hot on their heels with some familiar names at the top of the leaderboard. Karen Darrington began pursuit of her fourth consecutive title by posting the low round of the day, a four over par 76. She leads 3 other golfers at +5 in Sheryl Scott, Kelly Loeb, and Kareen Markle.
On the Men’s Super Senior side, it’s a very tight race. A two-way tie at the top is shared by Greg Tatham and Kip Reeder after they posted under par rounds of 71 (-1). Mike Rawls is right there in third after getting in to the clubhouse with an even par 72.
The Senior Men also saw a familiar name at the top, Scott Masingill. After a smooth 35 on the front nine, Masingill nearly left his card blemish free. A bogey on 18 though cut his lead to one, shooting a one-under 71. He leads Calvin Fillmore (E), and Bob Wheeler, Fran Matthias, and Gary Vanier (+2).
