May, Norton reach finals in state event
Wichita ? Wichita State’s Jonathan May and Bryan Norton of Prairie Village took different routes Saturday to today’s finals of the Kansas Amateur golf championship.
May outlasted top-seeded Jesse Schulte 1-up on the 20th hole and third-seeded Norton beat Kansas State’s Aaron Watkins, 4 and 3, in Saturday’s semifinals at Tallgrass Country Club.
May, 21, and Norton, 42, will play a 36-hole championship match today. May won his match with a conceded par when Schulte hit into a hazard twice at the second playoff hole.
The 29th-seeded May was 1-up on Schulte, but three putted for the second time in the match at No. 18 for a bogey that forced extra holes.
Norton is a reinstated amateur who played pro golf from 1983 to 1992. He birdied three holes and moved six-up through 10 holes in his second easiest match of the week.
