6/29/2005

Former UMBC Cross Country and Track and Field Coach Jim Pfrogner shot rounds of 73-80-79 to win the Senior National Association of Left-handed Golfers Championship held earlier this month on the Moorlands Course of the Legends at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Last week, Pfrogner, 63, traveled to Dublin, Ireland to compete with over 300 golfers in the World Left-Handed Championships and finished in second place in the Senior Division (55+) with a 72-hole score of 308.  Australia’s Peter Reed posted a winning score of 303, the same score that the Open Division Winner, countryman Frederick Park posted.

Pfrogner, a member of UMBC’s Athletic Hall of Fame, coached the Retriever teams from 1973-2000. He was the 1998 Maryland State Senior Golf champion.
