Just after sundown in Toronto on Wednesday, Red Deer’s Ken Griffith sunk one of the biggest putts of his life.
The 58-year-old holed a 10-foot birdie putt on his final hole of the day to solidify a provincial team title at the Canadian Senior Men’s Championships at Cedar brae Golf Club.
The Alberta trio, Griffith, along with Brian Laubman (Edmonton) and Frank Van Dornick (Camrose) combined for a second-round score of 4-under-par to capture the Phil Farley Memorial Trophy with a team total of 282.
