Wire-to-wire
Chambers wins going away

The Norman Transcript

Nathan Chambers has been a golf fan as far back as he can remember.

His mom, Susan, said Nathan would watch the sport on TV when he was 2 or 3 years old.

“All the other kids were watching cartoons, he was watching golf,” she said.

When Chambers was a little older, and started playing, he became, like the rest of the world, a Tiger Woods fan.

The soon-to-be senior at Purcell has become one of the top young golfers in the state, and Sunday he added his second straight Norman City Championship to his resume with a strong 1-under 71 at Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in the tournament’s final round.

“It feels pretty good,” Chambers said of winning his second straight City Championship before he even graduated high school. “I guess that’s what everybody says when they win. I think I played solid all three days. I’ve played with all these guys before and it’s pretty relaxing when you know who you’re playing with. I played with Taylor (Artman) and Brad (Purcell) all three rounds, and I even played with Brad through two rounds last year.”

Chambers has been playing in tournaments since he was 8 or 9 years old. Back then, it was the nine-hole tournaments from the red tees.

Now he’s running away from the field from the tips.

“He’s loved golf since he was a baby,” Chambers’ dad, Mike, said. “He was two and already loved to putt.”

A young lifetime of playing golf has given Chambers a long drive and solid short game.

He’s already committed to play at Oklahoma once he graduates next year, and Sunday, he got a chance to show off his driver on the Sooners’ home course.

Length is a major asset at the OU Golf Club. With a total 7,380 yards, it’s the longest of the three courses in the City Championship.

The Trails is 6,600 yards and Westwood Park’s is 6,100.

Chambers was ripping it off the tee Sunday.

On the par-4, 441-yard 14th hole, Chambers drove it 340-plus yards.
