BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. - Nov. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Rick Woulfe made five birdies on the last eight holes Thursday and took advantage when Bob Stephens’ tee shot at the final hole landed two feet out of bounds, enabling Woulfe to win the Society of Seniors Championships at Quail Ridge Country Club.

Woulfe, who started the day with a two-shot lead, shot a 2-under 70 to finish at seven-under 209 and claim the Dale Morey Division (55 and older) by two shots over Stephens. Woulfe also won the 2006 SOS Championship at Quail Ridge.

“It’s always great to win, especially at my age,” said Woulfe, a 64-year-old attorney from Fort Lauderdale. “That back nine was a lot of fun. Bob got a tough break on the last hole.”

Wolfe and Stephens came to the 18th hole tied for the lead at six-under, but Stephens’ drive hit a tree and landed just outside the white stakes. He had to return to the tee, where he made a birdie on his second ball for a bogey. He matched Woulfe’s 70.

“That was my only bad drive all week,” said Stephens, the reigning Indiana Senior Amateur champion from Indianapolis. “Rick’s a great champion; he deserved to win.”

The two players combined for eight birdies on the final nine of Quail Ridge’s South Course. John Rodney (69) of Sewickly, Pa., was a distant third at 216.

The Society of Seniors is an elite organization for players 55 and older who have handicaps of 3 or less. The SOS Championship is the nation’s second-ranked event for senior amateurs, behind only the U.S. Senior Amateur.

In the John Owens Division (65-74), Van Lefferdink of Juno Beach had a 70 and won by a shot over Ted Smith (70-220) of Wilkinson, Ind.

In the Grand Masters Division (75 and older), Bill Robischon (74-221) of Tequesta, Fla., won by two shots over Harry Cain (73-223) of Williamsburg, Va.
