(May 15, 2013) -- Bill Britton of Trump National-Colts Neck fired a 3-under-par 69, the lowest score of the event, for a 72-69-141 total, and annexed his third consecutive and fourth overall NJPGA/NJSGA Senior Open Championship on Tuesday, May 14, at the par-72, 6,742-yard Navesink Country Club in Middletown.
Cnris Dacihsen of North Jersey, 56, the first-round leader, finished second at 70-76-146. Dan Levinson of Bayonne, 55, was the low amateur after shooting 79-71-150, tying him for third place with Mike Lanzetta of Mansfield Golf Center (75-75-150) and Baker Maddera of Rock Spring (73-77-150).
