Local favorite Gene Fieger, who
turned 50 in June, scored his first
victory in senior golf Oct. 17th
when he won the 34th annual Florida
State Senior Open at the Naples
Beach Hotel and Golf Club. Twotime
former champion Ed Sabo of
Tequesta, playing in the group in
front of Fieger’s threesome, closed
with his second straight 68 and
took second at 210. Ken Martin
of Wellington, the first round leader,
was third at 74-211 followed at
214 by Mike San Filippo of Hobe
Sound, a three-time champion
(2004 and 2007-08), and Mike
Dopslaff of Naples, both with final
round scores of 70.
There were 150 entries, pros and
amateurs 50 years and older. Competition
was in six age groups.
