Ginn & Co. victorious

Champions Tour pro Stewart Ginn and his foursome of Jim Cardarellia,

Alan Szabo, Matt Moschetti and Mike Baghramiam collected the

first-place payoff of $500 after the second day of the pro-am on

Thursday at Newport Beach Country Club as the pace heightens for

Friday’s start of the Toshiba Senior Classic.

In a three-way tie for second place, three strokes off the

winners’ pace, were the teams paced by Sammy Rachels, Dick Mast and

Lanny Wadkins, each netting $350.

Playing with Rachels were amateurs Doc D’Erico, Kirk Roller, Paul

Folino and Fred Gill.

Mast’s team consisted of Masaaki Nomi, Mike Winkler, Don Schrock

and Tim Craig.

Playing with Wadkins were Rick Taylor, Todd Mavis, Bob Franz and

Gene McGillycuddy.

Super seniors

In the Georgia Pacific Super Seniors Pro-Am at Strawberry Farms

Golf Club in Irvine, Tom Wargo’s team of amateurs Ken Cabley, Josh

Thrasher, O.J. Dutcher and John Pasqualetto came out on top with a

one-stroke margin over Lee Trevino’s team.

Finishing at 52 with Trevino were Gale McBride, Sean Foushee,

Steve Swan and Norm Swan.

In third place at 53 with Gary Player were Pete Meichtry, Kurt

Robbins, Marty Brand and George Silver.

Player’s crew edged another which also finished with a 53, but

lost in a “card-off,” comparing scores moving backward on the

scoreboard from the 18th hole.
