    Local roundup: Black Hall's Rainaud looking to finish strong

    Bloomfield — Adam Rainaud of Black Hall Club shot a 2-under-par 68 to lead a field of 47 at the Connecticut PGA Professional Championship at Wintonbury Golf Course. The final round of the 36-hole championship is today.

    Rainaud is setting his sights on a section record season. He has won three section individual championships this year - the Spring PGA Stroke Play, the Connecticut PGA Championship, and the Assistant Connecticut PGA Championship - and he has already clinched the Bob Shea Award as the section PGA Player of the Year. That award also earns him an exemption into the 48th PGA Professional National Championship, June 21-24, 2015, at the Philadelphia Cricket Club.

    This year's section championship has a $14,710 purse and a $2,200 first-place prize.
