Tim Cobb win second JAGA Senior Amateur by eight at Stillwater
Tim Cobb has entered three JAGA Senior Amateurs, He's won two and tied for third in the other.
One division had no drama. The other ended with an improbable walk-off eagle in sudden death. The 69th Jacksonville Area Golf Association Senior Championship had a tale of two endings on May 5 in the first of three years at the Stillwater Golf and Country Club in St.
Augustine. First, the runaway: Tim Cobb of St. Augustine won his second JAGA Senior title when he shot 73 in the final round to win by eight shots at 2-over-par 218.
Cobb has made three starts in the tournament, his two titles (he won in 2020) and a tie for third. Defending champion Brent Dietz (77), 2024 JAGA Senior champion Richard Ames (80) and past JAGA Amateur champion Ken Moody (76) tied for second 10-over. Now for the theatrics: Robert Goettlicher, a three-time JAGA Amateur champion, eagled the first playoff hole to win the Super-Senior title over Tim Iley, after they ended 36 holes of regulation tied at 4-over 148.
Goettlicher had to birdie two of the last three holes to make the playoff, which was on the par-5 16th hole. Goettlicher reached the green in two and made a 25-footer for eagle, after Iley was on the green in three. Garry Blackwell won the Grand Senior Division by seven shots over Paul Worley at 6-over 150, with a 72 in the final round.
