birdie.

reached the green in two, but failed to
catch Bull with their eagle putts, giving
Bull an opportunity to win the tournament
with a birdie.
Bull chipped up to four feet, keeping
his ball below the hole and rolled in his
birdie to win his first amateur title.
" It's huge and it feels great, " Bull said
of the victory. " I felt like I had it coming
and at some point it was going to
happen and it finally did. It feels great
to close it out. There's a brief 'did it really
happen?' type of thing.
That part of it feels fantastic.
" Everyone played great-
it was really solid golf, and
at the end of three days I
was one ahead, which is a
pretty tight margin, " Bull
added.
Bull had been close a
number of times in recent
years, but failed to hoist a
trophy. He had three top-10
finishes a year ago and 10
finishes inside the top 25 over the last
six years.
" In a weird way I feel like the older
you get, the more you can put it
together. There are a lot better golfers
here than me this week, but they didn't
do something, " Bull said. " At 39 it's
a little surprising to win your first
[amateur championship] because I've
played the least amount of golf than I
have before. That part feels good-to
have a family and still be able to get the
ball around feels really good. "
