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.
Sowards, the Director of Instruction at Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club, is making history. 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.
