[Golf Topic] Champions Tour Mast "Age Shot of 65 Strokes at 70 Years Old"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…70-year-old Dick Mast (photo) has recorded a '65-stroke age shoot'...

On the 30th (Korean time), the US Golf Channel reported, "Mast reduced his score by a full 5 strokes below the age shoot standard." This happened at the Monday qualifier for the PGA Champions (Senior) Tour's Dicks Sporting Goods Open (total prize money $2.05 million). In golf, achieving an age shoot?scoring below one's age?becomes increasingly difficult as one gets older. Following Allen McLean's (both from the US) 8-under-par 64, Mast secured second place and qualified for the main event.

It is interesting that Mast has participated 360 times combined in the PGA Tour and Champions Tour but has never won. He did, however, win four times on the Ben Hogan Tour, the predecessor of the PGA Korn Ferry (second-tier) Tour, with three wins in 1990 and one in 1999. This tournament marks his 187th appearance on the Senior Tour since joining in 2001. Last month, he also recorded a '69-stroke age shoot' at the Senior Open regional qualifier but failed to secure a ticket to the Senior Open itself.
