Kelowna Golf and Country Club member wins invitational event for second year in a row

With four former champions in the hunt and five players separated by just one stroke, the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Senior Men’s Invitational was very much up for grabs heading into the final round.

In the end, a stellar six-under par 66 was good enough for the host club’s Norm Bradley to earn his second title at the 2015 edition of the annual tournament.

The defending champ, Bradley edged out another former champion, Gudmund Lindbjerg of Pitt Meadows, by two strokes in the 36-hole event which ended Friday at KGCC.

Bradley, who trailed Lindbjerg and two others by a stroke heading into the final rounds, registered birdies on the fourth, eighth and ninth holes on the front nine, then pushed past Lindbjerg with three more birdies on the back nine to finish at five-under (73-66) for the tournament.

Lindbjerg was second at (72-69), while Gallagher’s Canyon’s Alastair Walker was third at 145.

Point Grey’s Ryan Sittler finished alone in fourth at 146, while Lance MacGregor of Kings Links rounded out the top five at 147.

Sittler was also the overall net winner, finishing 10 shots better than his handicap with a 134 total.
