It was Plummer’s fifth state senior title, the last coming in 2012.

Defending champion Ron Dery finished second, two shots back, with a 73 both days.

Plummer had a one-shot lead and opened the door with a bogey on the par-3 16th. But Dery also bogeyed the hole. Dery then bogeyed the par-5 17th, allowing Plummer to coast in.

Daniel Falcone finished three strokes back in third, and Tom Bean was fourth at plus-4.

First-round leader Cash Wiseman shot a 77 Wednesday to finish plus-5, tied with Mike Nowak.
