JOPPA, Md. — It was a strong day of team golf at Mountain Branch Golf Club for the 30th Maryland Senior Four-Ball, where players took on the par-72 layout in cool, breezy conditions. Walter Jew and Mark Ehudin of Norbeck Country Club claimed the overall title, winning the Senior Four-Ball with a 5-under-par 67. The duo played consistent, sharp golf, making just one bogey on the day. Jew gave their round a spark with back-to-back birdies on the eighth and ninth holes. Ehudin followed up with a key birdie on the 457-yard par-5 12th hole to give the team the lead. Their steady finish secured them the championship.
Finishing in a T2 behind the Norbeck duo were 2024 Champions Stu Strang and Michael McCarthy, and the side of Wayne Bowden and Tad Kaufman from Ocean City Golf Club. Both teams carded a four-under-par 68. Rounding out the top five were 2016 champion Tim Dilli and his partner Henry Blue, as well as 2018 Champions Lee Flemister and David Nocar. Both teams shot a 3-under-par 69.
In the Super Senior Division, Clay Fitzgerald and Skip Tendall of Congressional Country Club led the way with a 6-under-par 66. Fitzgerald birdied the first two holes out of the gate, while Tendall added another on the 529-yard par-5 fifth hole, the longest hole of the day. The pair finished strong with three birdies and only one bogey on the back nine to take the Super Senior title.
