Nashville, Tenn. ? When Gil Morgan finds a golf course that he likes, he plays very well.

Morgan won his first title of the year and 21st of his senior career Sunday, shooting a 5-under 67 for a three-stroke victory in the BellSouth Senior Classic. It was his second victory at the Springhouse Golf Club where he has finished no worse than fifth.

Gil Morgan chips onto the 18th green. Morgan won the BellSouth Senior Classic Sunday at Nashville, Tenn.

“Obviously, it’s been a great golf course for me,” he said. “I always seem to play the par 5s really well, and that’s beneficial. … It just sets up for my shot better.”

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.

“That’s unbelievable,” said Morgan, who has been bothered by bulging discs in his neck.

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 Monday qualifier 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.

Morgan obviously hasn’t played up to his potential this year because of his health problems. He had only three top-10 finishes through 12 events.

“Obviously, he didn’t struggle this week,” Fleisher said. “He certainly likes this golf course.”

Jay Sigel led after each of the first two rounds, but he shot a 76 to drop into a tie for 21st at 210.
