Marsico, a Castle Pines member and the winner of the 2008 CGA Amateur, and Hayes shot a 5-under-par 67 Friday to post a one-stroke victory with a 10-under 206 total for three rounds.

Tripp Kuhlke and Jeff Knox bogeyed the final hole to give Marsico and Hayes their second straight title.

The senior division of the tournament went to a playoff that lasted five holes. Like in mid-am division, the defending champions prevailed, with Texans Hollis Sullivan and Jeff Dillard coming out on top. They defeated Ben Hargis and Bart Dornier of Alexandria, La., in the playoff after both teams checked in at 8-under-par 208.

This year marked the 28th anniversary of the Charlie Coe Invitational, named for the two-time U.S. Amateur champion.
 

With the third round shortened to nine holes following a severe frost overnight, Marsico and Hayes shot a 4-under-par 32 on the front nine Friday to finish at 9-under 171. That was good for a two-stroke victory over defending champions Eoin Middaugh of Irvine, Calif. (a Castle Pines member) and Taylor Wood of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., who tied with Bob Summers of Dove Canyon, Calif. (a Castle Pines member) and Greg Lopez of San Clemente Calif. Both of the runner-up teams posted 31s on Friday in the two-man best-ball event.

In the senior division, Castle Pines member Hollis Sullivan of Westworth Village, Texas and partner Jeff Dillard of Wichita Falls, Texas, posted a six-stroke victory. Their 31 on Friday left them at 7-under-par 173. Tying for second place at 179 were the teams of Pat Youngs and John Pierce of San Antonio, and Jim Holtgrieve of Augusta, Mo., and partner Al Martin of Plymouth, Mass.
