CGA Senior Player of the Year and current CGA State Senior Match Play champion, John Olive of the Broadmoor Golf Club, earned his fifth CGA State Senior Stroke Play title in six years at River Valley Ranch Golf Club. Olive did it in dominating fashion, firing a 69 in the final round to earn a Tiger-like nine-stroke victory with a 7-under total of 209. Olive was the only player to finish under par for the tournament. Scott Radcliffe of Rolling Hills Country Club finished at 218 to earn runner-up honors. Larry Dragon of Battlement Mesa Golf Club, former CGA State Senior Match Play champion Roger Gunderson of Heather Ridge Country Club, and Larry Netherton of Highlands Ranch Golf Club all tied for third place at 223.
Olive has now won this event five times since becoming a senior in 1997, with victories in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2002. The field was cut to low 40 plus ties for the final round.
