As recently as 2012, Stu Ingraham, the golf instructor at
the M Golf Range in Newtown Square, was the best player in the Philadelphia
Section PGA, regardless of age.
So when Ingraham tees it up with his fellow senior pros, as
he did Thursday in the Robert “Skee” Riegel Senior Open at Radnor Valley
Country Club, he can be tough to beat.
Ingraham carded six birdies, including three in a row on 11,
12 and 13 at the 6,300-yard, par-70 Radnor Valley layout for a 3-under 67 that
gave him a one-shot victory over Rob
Shuey and Don DeAngelis of Center Square Golf Club.
The event is named in honor of Riegel, whom the Daily Times named Delco’s golfer of the
millennium in a series looking back at the great sports figures of the 20th
century in 1999.
Radnor Valley head pro George Forster, one of only two club
pros to make the cut at the 2013 U.S. Senior Open at the Omaha Country Club,
used a little home-course advantage to earn a share of fourth at even-par 70
with Greg Farrow of Deerwood C.C.
Concord Country Club head pro Mike Moses and John Allen of
the Main Line GolfTEC were among five players tied for 10th at
2-over 72. Linwood native Ed Dougherty, who owns two Champions Tour titles and who
won more then $6 million on the senior circuit, finished 15th with a
3-over 73.
Craig Susalka of Edgmont Country Club finished in a tie for
22nd at 76 and Frank Palumbo of Rolling Green Golf Club finished 29th
at 78.
