Kilgore extends record at Tedesco

Cy Kilgore of Beverly won the Tedesco Club Championship for the 18th time on Sunday, extending his record total.?It?s fun to win,” Kilgore said.Championship No. 18 was a close one. Kilgore prevailed by one shot over Greg Mahan. Kilgore finished with 78-77-77-232 totals to Mahan?s 82-78-73-233. The format for this year was 54 holes stroke play.?Where it was stroke play, every shot counted,” Kilgore said. “The 16th hole was key. I had a very difficult up and down shot, a shot to make par. I hit it to a couple inches. It was key.”He recalled telling club pro Bob Green that he thought he had a lead of a few extra shots.?Bob told me no, Gary was playing very well out front,” Kilgore said. “It stayed that way on the back side. I was trying not to make any big numbers out there.”However, he said, “It?s always fun to compete against your friends,” mentioning not only Mahan but also Wayne Pettit and Mike Zmetrovich. He added that “we missed a couple players,” Brad Tufts and Chuck DiGrande.Asked whether he had any secret to winning, he laughed.?I wish I did,” he said. “Shoot fewer shots than anybody else.”
