Black Diamond Pro Wins OPGA Sr Crown

John Rushnell Adds Second Simmlands
Ontario PGA Senior Summer Title to His Trophy Case

(Kleinburg, Ont. July 6, 2009) - John Rushnell (Black Diamond) shot 5-under-par 66 en route to victory at the Ontario PGA Senior Summer Championship. This was Rushnell's second Senior Summer victory with the last coming in 2005 at Glendale Golf and Country Club.

The victory couldn't have come at a better time for Rushnell, who will tee it up next in the Canadian PGA Senior Championship which goes later this week in Ottawa. Rushnell attributed his fine play to a recent round that was played in a U.S. Senior Open qualifier in Pittsburgh, PA.

"I played well today, the course was great and I'm feeling good about my game," added Rushnell who will head to Ottawa tomorrow. "I've had a hot putter as of late," added Rushnell, who shot 70 and grabbed the first alternate spot at his qualifying site for the US Senior Open.
