	Results
	Linfield, PA - Buck Jones, Blue Bell CC, was the story at the Philadelphia Senior Open Amateur Championship at Linfield National GC.  Jones started fast with birdies on the par-5 second and the par-3, third and cruised after that en route to his second Senior Open Amateur Championship title.  Birdies on the par-4 sixth and the par-3 ninth to finish his front nine in 4-under par 31.  Jones made his lone bogey of the day on the par-5 12th after his first tee shot was out of bounds.  Jones regained his momentum with birdies at fifteen and seventeen for 5-under par 66 to best the field by four shots.
	Jeff Paige, Bellewood GC, was the lone other player in the field.  Paige completed the 6235 yard, Par 71 layout in 70.  Birdies at two and four helped Paige to a 2-under par front nine.  A birdie at the 10th got Paige to 3-under for the round but bogies at 14 and 17 derailed his chances to catch Jones.  Mark Graham of Hickory Valley, finished 3rd, six shots behind Jones.
	Tom Mallouk, Lookaway GC, used an even par back nine to capture the 60-69 year old age group with a three over par 74.  Mallouk started with bogies on three of the first five holes and played even par golf from there win the age group by three shots.  Greg Gaul, Merion GC, was second with a round of six over par 77.
