Men’s Senior Division – Leaderboard
Anthony Assini started the final round of the 2023 Austin Senior Championship 2 strokes behind the leader, and 4 other players ahead of him, but managed a stress free 69 (-3) final round to come from behind and claim victory. One weary tee shot on hole 13 almost got him into some big trouble, but a bogey save kept victory in the cross hairs, as he parred the rest of the way in to win.
Assini had some pursuit late in the round, as Mike Harwood, who started the day with a one shot lead, nearly holed out for eagle on 17. A tap in birdie left him one shot back, needing a birdie on 18 to tie Assini. Nathan Shilling started the day one shot back of Harwood, and one ahead of Assini, and after just missing birdies on 15 and 16, tapped in for birdie on 17 – thus also needing birdie on 18 to tie. Harwood and Shilling both made par, and Assini rolled in a 3 footer on 18 for the victory.
Joe Ramos had the low round of the tournament with a final round 68 (-4) to move into 4th place, while Greg Smith holed out for eagle on 15 from just over 100 yards to bump him into 5th place. Todd Lacoste and Chris Hartenstein both finished Even for the tournament, good for T-6th place, and defending champion Grady Bruce finished 1-over to finish in 8th.
