Radcliffe Medalist in USGA Senior Amateur Qualifying

Colorado Avid Golfer

PARKER — Four days after going wire-to-wire in winning the Colorado Golf Association Senior Stroke Play Championship, Scott Radcliffe of Golden earned medalist honors in Monday’s USGA Senior Amateur Sectional Qualifying at The Pinery Country Club.

The 58-year-old from Rolling Hills Country Club shot a 5-under-par 67 to win the qualifier by four strokes. In all, three players from the original field of 55 advance to the USGA Senior Amateur, which will be contested Oct. 2-7 at Lake Nona Golf Club in Orlando, Fla. Joining Radcliffe in qualifying at The Pinery were Kary Kaltenbacher of Englewood (71 Monday) and Stephen Bell of Denver (72). Bell prevailed on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff with Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Kent Moore. After each player parred the first two extra holes, Bell earned the final national berth with a bogey on hole 3.
Moore will be the first alternate, while three-time CGA Senior Player of the Year Robert Polk shot a 74 for the second alternate spot.
Radcliffe qualified for his sixth USGA championship and second USGA Senior Amateur, which is limited to players 55 and older.
