Heins even at Senior Open

July

I’m thinking Greg Norman is stealing the headlines, but Old Oaks head pro Bobby Heins fared pretty well, too, shooting an even-par 72 in the first round of the U.S. Senior Open at Crooked Stick Golf Club.

A goal of staying on the right side of the cut line is easily within reach.

Heins started on the back nine and rolled in 12 consecutive pars. He was 2-over with three holes to play, but got those strokes back on Nos. 7 and 9. If you didn’t get a chance to read the story on Heins in today’s paper, here’s a link.

Jerry Courville Jr. is 1-under and George Zahringer is 1-over, both have won MGA player of the year honors on several occassions. Mahopac native Larry Laoretti is 6-over.
