Senior golf: Like fine wine, old guys get better with age

Hawaii Tribune-Herald

Hilo’s Kevin Hayashi shot an 8-over-par 79 on Friday and missed the cut by nine strokes at the Senior PGA Championship, where the old folks are good.

Rocco Mediate is tearing up the golf course at Harbor Shores, Mich., where he fired a 5-under 66 for a 128 total and four-shot lead over Gene Sauers.

Most people know Mediate as the guy who lost to Tiger Woods for the 2008 U.S. Open on the first sudden-death playoff following an 18-hole extra inning affair.

That was Tiger’s 14th and last major at his Torrey Pines hometown course in La Jolla, Calif.
