Kudos to our own Bobby McGraw, who finished fourth in the NHPGA Senior Championship with two rounds of 73 at the North Conway Country Club last Monday and Tuesday.
Billy Andrews (Portsmouth CC) shot 73-70 to win by one shot over Greg Sandell (Golf Club of New England) and Eric Sandstrum (2024 Champ from Keene CC). Dan Wilkins (Laconia CC) finished fifth.
