May 29th 2007 - Bill Schumaker, Crooked Lake GC in Columbia City, was one of 38 PGA Club Professionals to attempt to make the cut in the 68th Senior PGA Championship held at The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island. Teeing it up with the likes of Jay Haas, Fuzzy Zoeller, Tom Watson, Nick Price and Hale Irwin, Schumaker was one of only nine PGA Professionals to make it to the weekend. Schumaker finished tied for 74th place with rounds of 80-72-75-79 -- 306, and a share of the purse.
"Oh, it's the highlight of my year. I've been fortunate enough that this is my eight straight year of playing in it. So I had some success in the Senior Club Pro and I think I made about four cuts in it. But it's the highlight of my year coming to play with these guys. And to tell you the truth, in the afternoon, that 80 wasn't that bad. I mean it was that tough," stated Schumaker referring to his first round 80. "And again, I'm from Indiana, if we got wind like that, we don't even go outside, let alone play in it."
The Senior PGA Championship was begun in 1937 to provide an opportunity to PGA members over age 50 to compete with their peers. The list of players eligble for the Senior PGA Championship includes all former PGA Champions, Masters, Open and British Open champions, top 35 finishers from the 2006 PGA Senior Club Professional Championship and the top 50 money winners of the Senior PGA Tour.
