He has achieved success in both state and national events. When competitors see Bob’s name in the field, they know they are playing for second place. HisthreeOhioOpenChampionships, along with three Ohio Senior Open Championships are strong enough credentials to earn a spot in the Ohio Golf Hall of Fame. In addition, Sowards competed on the Korn FerryTour and competed on the 2008 PGATour. In his tour career, he played in 41 PGA Tour events, including 11 PGA Championships. Bob was named the PGA National Club Professional Player four times and won the PGA National Club Professional Championship in 2004.
