New Seniors' Championship tradition - Best "Senior Moment"

• While Diane Ewald was preparing to chip to the 4th green, her pull cart and clubs headed for the water hazard for a swim.  Unfortunately, she lost her Sky Caddy.

• Ginnie Vogel addressed her putt and took her backswing before realizing she hadn't replaced her ball and was about to putt her ball marker.
