26th Normandie Amateur Championship
Frost Builds Lead Early and Holds On For Normandie Victory
Dr. Andy Frost hit a small bump on the first hole at Normandie GC Sunday morning, but then a string of four birdies on Holes 2-5 pushed a 1 shot lead to 4 en route to his victory in the 26th Normandie Amateur. At age 52, becomes the second senior to win the Normandie outright, David Lucks did so in 2004. Senior points are awarded to the field toward the MAGA Senior Player of the Year, but with this victory Frost also makes an early statement for an invite to the MAGA Match Play Championship in 2013.
Playing in the final group with 4-time champion Skip Berkmeyer and Tony Gumper. Frost had the one early hiccup at the tough 443 yard opening hole at Normandie. Quickly though, he sunk a long birdie putt on 2 and hit it to 6-feet on 3 for birdies. At the short par 5 4th hole, Frost chipped in for a birdie then finish the 4 hole stretch with a short birdie putt at 5.
Four players would end up under par for the Championship. Berkmeyer, 2011 Senior MAGA Player of the Year Jeff Johnson and Tony Gumper.
