Tom Werkmeister, a golf profes-

sional from Hudsonville and a mem-

ber of the Michigan Golf Hall of

Fame, shot a sizzling 18-hole round

of 8-under-par 64 on Tuesday, July

9 to capture the 2024 Yamaha Golf

Cars Michigan PGA Senior Open at

Bedford Valley Golf Club in Battle

Creek.

The event turned into a

one-day, 18-hole tourney,

as rain later in the day on

July 9 that continued into

July 10 led to the final

18-hole round to be can-

celled.

The Senior Open title

was Werkmeister’s second

and earned him $2,400.
