Cameron wins his fourth Senior Men’s Northerns

Jul 9, 2015 | 7:37 PM

Bill Cameron was all smiles when he picked up his fourth Senior Men’s Northern Championship on Thursday at Cooke Municipal Golf Course.

Cameron, who’s 68, joked that he has to cherish the victories as he gets up there in age.

“At my age if you win one, you enjoy it as much as the other ones—you’re not sure if it’s going to happen again,” Cameron chuckled.

“I still enjoy the game.”

Although he admits there were a few awkward moments, including some slow starts, Cameron was still able to put back-to-back 73’s on the board to win the tournament by a stroke.

Fred Mathiason shot a 72 on day two to make it interesting, but just couldn’t catch Cameron.

Cliff Head won the Super Seniors category, with a two-day total of 158.
