Centerville Lady Elks Golf Team, the Ohio champions, competed last month at the PGA High School National Invitational at the new PGA facility in Frisco, Texas. The competitors toiled under very hot conditions and finished tenth. Four members of the team have graduated high school and three are playing collegiately. Morgan Rogers for Ohio University, Leeann Harker at Ashland University and Alana Rae Miller is attending Ohio Dominican University. The final two members of the team are Sanjana Reddy and Brigid Nickell, a sophomore in high school. Dublin’s Bob Sowards won the Ohio Senior Open for a fifth consecutive year. His final round 68, at Firestone Country Club, gave him a cumulative score of five-under par for the two rounds. Mike Thomas finished two shots back.

No one in the 38-year history of the event has dominated like he has. He has been eligible to play in this event for five years and he has won every time. “I wish every event I played was played on this course,” he said. “This course suits me perfectly. I love the sight lines. I’ve never played bad here. It’s just perfect. It’s always in great condition. It’s just a great event at a place I really like.” The win was worth $2,500 and qualifies Sowards for the U.S. Senior Open. Ohio Golf Journal
