Howie Knodt of Chula Vista continued his domination of Southern California senior events, defeating Laguna Niguel’s Kemp Richardson 2-and-1 to win the SCGA Senior Match Play Championship Wednesday at Sandpiper Golf Course.
Knodt, the 2009 SCGA Senior Amateur champion and 2008 SCGA Senior Player of the Year, was the No. 1 seed in the second annual championship. Competing against Richardson, a two-time U.S. Senior Amateur and British Senior Amateur champion, Knodt was never less than 2 up after the fourth hole. He collected four birdies and only one bogey on the second hole, which Richardson bogeyed also. Richardson had more of a rollercoaster round, as his four birdies were canceled out by four bogeys.
