Then There Were Two

Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Kent Moore of Cherry Hills Country Club and Jim Reynolds of Bear Creek Golf Club won two matches each on Wednesday to advance to the finals of the CGA Super-Senior Match Play at Coal Creek Golf Course in Louisville.

Moore, a two-time CGA Senior Player of the Year and the winner of the CGA Super-Senior Stroke Play in 2016, defeated Bruce Hayes of Walnut Creek Golf Preserve 2 up in the quarterfinals, and 2016 runner-up Steve Scheffel of Ptarmigan Country Club 2 and 1 in the semis. That semifinal was all-square through nine before Moore (pictured) went 1 under par for the final eight holes.

Moore’s CGA championships include the Junior Match Play, Amateur, Match Play, Mid-Amateur, Senior Amateur, Senior Match Play and the Super-Senior Stroke Play.

Reynolds, the No. 4 seed in the 32-man bracket, beat Dan Grigsby of Todd Creek Golf Club 1 up in the quarterfinals, and Mark Runyan of Clubcorp Colorado 4 and 3 in the semis. Earlier, Runyan ended defending champion Jeff English’s seven-match win streak in this event, prevailing 3 and 2.

Thursday’s 18-hole final match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m.

This year’s Super-Senior Match Play is limited to competitors 61 and older.
