  Willingboro, NJ - Sean Clifford, John F. Byrne GC, emerged victorious in a playoff with Buck Jones, Linfield National GC, to claim his first ever Philadelphia Publinks Championship title.  Clifford and Jones both posted 1-over par 72 on the 6,629 yard, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. layout at Rancocas Golf Club and Cliford's par on the first playoff hole, #10, was good enough for the victory.  Clifford's round started slow with bogies at 1 & 4 but the champ quickly turned his round with birdies at 5 & 6.  A bogey at 9 capped his front 9 in 1-over par.  Clifford was able to post an even par 35 on the back nine with a double bogey on 13 which was ofset with birdies at 12 and 18.    
       Jones, the 2003 Philadelphia Publinks Champion and defending Senior Amateur champion, started his round with a birdie on the first and after a bogey on the 7th, the runner up birdied the next for a fron nine of 1-under par.  Jones played steady golf on the back nine but was unable to convert any birdies and played the back in 2-over par with bogies on 14 & 17.  
       Jack Donnelly, Bensalem CC, was third with a 3-over par 74 and Larry Wiacek, Middletown GC, was 4th with a round of 75
