SUNRIVER — Alan Morin had come close several times before in the Senior PGA Professional Championship, but he never quite finished at the top of the leaderboard — until Sunday.

Morin (Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) shot a 6-under-par 65 on Sunriver Resort’s Meadows course Sunday to finish the week at 14-under-par 271 and win by two. His 65 matched the record for the lowest fourth-round score in the history of the tournament that features top club pros ages 50 and older.

The win marks Morin’s first time hoisting the Leo Fraser Trophy and follows his recent string of notable finishes in the Senior PGA Professional Championship, including third in 2022, fourth in 2021 and eighth in 2020. The PGA Assistant Professional at The Club at Ibis also won the 2024 South Florida Senior PGA Professional Championship in August.

“To finally be able to put everything together and not make too many mistakes, it’s quite a sense of accomplishment just from playing golf for many years, being in this business and being able to compete against a lot of really good players,” Morin said.

Robert Russell (Stilwell, Kansas) finished second at 12-under-par 273. Jeff Gove (Sandpoint, Idaho) and Tracy Phillips (Tulsa, Okla.) tied for third at 11-under-par 274. Third-round leader Steve Holmes (Simi Valley, Calif.) finished fifth at 10-under-par 275.

Morin entered Sunday’s final round in third, three shots off the lead. He tallied his first of four front-nine birdies at the par-5 second hole then three in a row on holes four through six.

He made the turn at 4-under-par 31, and added birdies at the par-4 11th and 12th holes. After another birdie at the par-4 15th, Morin posted the lone blemish on his scoreboard, a double-bogey at the par-3 16th.

He rebounded nicely with his eighth and final birdie at the par-5 17th to extend his lead to two. Morin parred the par-4 18th to finish with the low round of the day at 65 and secure the win.

Russell, the PGA Head Golf Professional at Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate, shot a 5-under-par 66 to finish runner-up. He went 4-under on the front nine by birdieing three of his first four holes. Back-to-back birdies on holes 8-9 followed his lone bogey on the front at the par-4 7th. Russell collected birdies at the par-4 11th and par-3 16th to finish 1-under-par 35 on the back-nine.

“It was fantastic, what a great place and great venue,” Russell said.

Morin headlines the Corebridge Financial Team of PGA of America Golf Professionals who will compete in the 2025 Senior PGA Championship on the Blue Course at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, May 19-25. Since turning 50, Morin has qualified for five consecutive Senior PGA Championships.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to play in that Major,” Morin said.
