Morgan attributed his success in Brentwood to playing a straighter line to the pocket than most of the other players. "Straighter was greater this week," he said. "I played dead straight all day and I made some good ball changes along the way. I never lost a single game all day."

Morgan, seeded No. 3 into match play based upon his qualifying standing, started his title run with a 3-0 best-of-five-game sweep of reigning three-time Senior Player of the Year Tom Baker, King N.C., in the Round of 16. He then disposed of Scott Hansel-Farrell, Stockton, Calif., 2-0, in a best-of-three match, and PBA Senior Tour champion Rohn Morton, Vancouver, Wash., 245-236, in the single-game Round of 4.

Traber was the final victim before Morgan collected his championship trophy and $8,000 first place check.

The PBA Senior Tour will take a month-long break before completing its season with the PBA Senior Hammond Open at Olympia Lanes in Hammond, Ind., Aug. 4-7, and the PBA Senior Decatur Open at Spare Time Lanes in Decatur, Ill., Aug. 9-12.
