(HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.) – The Sea Pines Resort congratulates Jeff Maggert – its player representative on both the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour – on winning the 2015 Senior U.S. Open on Sacramento’s Del Paso Country Club.
Maggert’s final round 5-under 65 edged defending champion Colin Montgomerie by two strokes for his second major victory on the Champions Tour this year. In May, Maggert won his first senior major championship event in the Regions Tradition held on Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club in Birmingham.
Hailed as one of most consistent players in golf, Maggert has earned more than $20 million over a 28-year professional career highlighted by three PGA TOUR victories. He has also represented the U.S. in the Ryder Cup three times and in the Presidents Cup once. Maggert won his Champions Tour debut in March 2014 at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic.
Maggert, a Sea Pines homeowner, supports Hilton Head’s premier destination by sporting The Sea Pines Resort and Harbour Town Golf Links logos on his shirts and golf bag during tournament competition. He also makes select appearances on behalf of the resort as his tournament schedule permits.
“We’re thrilled Jeff won the Senior U.S. Open for his second major tournament victory of the year,” says Cary Corbitt, Vice President of Sports and Operations. “In addition to being an exceptional player, Jeff is also a great family man and an ideal representative for all we offer here at The Sea Pines Resort.”
