Emile Vaughan of Pike Road, Alabama and Shaw Pritchett of Montgomery, Alabama were named the 26th Alabama State Senior Four-Ball Champions. They fired a 10-under 61 for the day to secure their title.
Pritchett’s albatross on No. 8 and eagle on No. 15 furthered their lead, breaking the tension among sides in a long-time, four-way tie.
“I’m really fortunate to have such a great partner in Emile, who brought me up all day,” Pritchett said. “I’ve never made an albatross before, so I can’t say that anymore!”
Pritchett and Vaughan broke the State scoring record by carding a 22-under 191. Previously, 192 was the scoring record.
Claud Cooper of Birmingham, Alabama and Richard Jeffers of Mobile, Alabama claimed second with a seven-under 64 in the final round and a total of 17-under 196.

Alexander’s bogey-free day assisted this side throughout their final round.
“My partner played extraordinarily well all day,” Dougherty said. “He didn’t have a bogey all day, and we kind of nursed our lead all day long with that.”
Alexander now holds all State Super-Senior titles for the AGA. In two weeks, he will defend his individual Super-Senior title at Wynlakes Golf & Country Club in Montgomery, Alabama.
Chip Woddail and Hamp Andrews of Daphne, Alabama shot seven-under 64 to close and carded an overall 18-under 195 to stand second.
