FORT MILL -- Late Wednesday afternoon, Rick Cloninger, 51 years old and looking all of 40, was standing on the practice range at Springfield Golf Club talking about his game and how he shot a 67 last weekend at Pinewood Country Club in Asheboro, N.C., a round that punched his ticket to the United States Senior Open in Colorado at the end of this month.
With a swing as smooth as a baby's backside, he was dropping 8-iron shots onto a green about 155 yards away.
