He will tee off at 12:40pm in the final group tomorrow, and will be paired with Tom Hale of Lakewood, Wash., who sits four back of Brandes; and Alex Stamey of Mill Creek, Wash., who sits five back. In the 12th Super Senior Men’s Amateur, Rich Evenson of Mercer Island, Wash. shot 2-over 74 to follow-up on yesterday’s 70, and maintains a one-shot lead over Rick Weihe of Bellingham, Wash.
