Former ORU player Norton takes second in Trans-Miss Senior Championship

DALLAS–Jeff New figures he played in almost 200 Texas Golf Association events during the 38 years he lived in Houston. He never won an individual TGA Championship. He still hasn’t, but you can’t convince New that his three-shot victory at the 2015 Trans-Mississippi Senior Championship doesn’t feel like he broke through for the elusive victory he always wanted. 

Bryan Norton, who played for the 1981 Oral Roberts team that took second in the NCAA Championship and has long been one of the top amateurs in Kansas, placed second, three shots behind.

New used a pair of birdies in the middle of his round to steady himself after two early bogeys. After a bogey and double-bogey on the 11th and 12th holes, New said he dug deep. He finished strong to post a final round 74 and finished at 6-over 219 for the championship. Norton from Mission Hills, took second place at 9-over 222. Houston’s Bob Kearney placed third at 10-over 223.
