McDermott makes biggest move of day in rain-delayed Seniors Championship
While only half the 132-man field finished their second round because of flooded bunkers and fairways, McDermott improved five shots on Thursday’s opening round, and looks likely to make the cut. McDermott, originally from County Clare, settled in the Chicago area in the early 60’s. At 61, he had to return to the European Seniors qualifying school last year, surprising many with a splendid sixth place.
As darkness descended over the course, the clubhouse leader was Japan’s Seiji Ebihara, twice a winner this year. He added a five-under 67 for an aggregate of 136.
