SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento State men’s golf team has signed Grant Norton to a National Letter of Intent, it was announced today by Director of Golf Adam Pohll. Norton, who is currently a senior at Sheldon High School, will enroll as a freshman at the University in the fall.One of the top high school golfers in Northern California, Norton is currently ranked 61st in the state among high school seniors by Golfweek. As a junior, the Rancho Murrieta, Calif., native finished second in the Delta League Championships and was named team MVP. In 2005, he was the winner of the Phil Marskey Sacramento Junior and also won the Amador County Amateur. Last summer, Norton shot 5-under to finish sixth at the State Fair at Haggin Oaks.
“We are really excited to have Grant join our program,” Pohll said. “He has become one of the best junior players in Northern California and we expect him to make an immediate impact on our team.”
Norton will join fellow Sacramento-area golfer Robert Budenbender (Casa Robles HS), who signed with the team in the fall.
“To have two local standouts chose to stay in Sacramento and play for the Hornets is an exciting step for our program,” Pohll said.
