Craig Thomas, head professional at Metropolis CC in White Plains, was the lowest-scoring club professional at the Sr. PGA Championship played at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The multiple-championship winner tied with Bob Friend, Director of Golf at Pikewood National Golf Club in Morgantown, WV. Both finished three over. Thomas had rounds of 72-70-74-71.

"I started every round wanting to put up a good number and once I made the cut, Saturday and Sunday felt like a little bit of a bonus," Thomas said. "It was a little bit easier, a little bit freer, you're really not worried about what the number is going to be, 2 or 3 or 4 over you go out and play golf and make a few putts and see what you do."

Among his many outstanding competitive performances, Thomas tied for 23rd in the 2013 Southworth Senior PGA Professional National Championship and tied for fourth in 2009 PGA Professional National Championship.

Colin Montgomery won the event, his first title won on American soil--and his first major championship anywhere in 71 attempts. He beat Tom Watson by fours strokes.
