Wyrick wins seniors event

Newport Beach Golf Course’s Keith Wyrick, who plans to play in the

Champions Tour Qualifying Tournament next year when he turns 50, won

a Golden State Tour seniors event Friday at Menifee Lakes Country

Club.

Wyrick, a longtime starter and course-record holder at the club,

tied Lou Salem at 71. There is no playoff in a one-day tournament.

Wyrick won about $800 and it was his third Golden State title of the

year, his first since firing a 70-63--133 at Costa Mesa Golf &

Country Club in June.
