Morgan Charges to Win

Gil Morgan won his first title of the year and 21st of his senior career Sunday, shooting a five-under 67 for a three-stroke victory in the BellSouth Senior Classic at Nashville. It was his second victory at the Springhouse Golf Club, where he has finished no worse than fifth.

“Obviously, it’s been a great golf course for me,” Morgan said.

The 55-year-old Morgan, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, moved into seventh place on the Senior PGA Tour victory list with his first win since the Instinet Classic a year ago.

Trailing by a stroke at the start of the round, Morgan had an eagle, five birdies and two bogeys for a 14-under 202 total.

Bruce Fleisher (69), Mike McCullough (68) and Dana Quigley (69) tied for second. Leonard Thompson (67) and Morris Hatalsky (69) finished four strokes back, and Rodger Davis (67), Bobby Wadkins (68), Butch Sheehan (69) and Fuzzy Zoeller (72) were five shots behind Morgan.
