"Tim Norris" is a current college head golf coach and a former professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1980s.

Norris was born and raised in Fresno, California. He started his collegiate career at Fresno City College before transferring to Fresno State University. In 1979, he was a second-team All-American, helped lead Fresno State to the Big West Championship, and was the winner of the Sun Bowl Golf Classic. In 1980, he was a first-team All-American, shared Big West Athlete-of-the-Year honors with Jay Don Blake, helped lead Fresno State to its second Big West Championship in as many years, and was Fresno State's Athlete-of-the-Year.

Norris had 11 top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events including a win at the 1982 Sammy Davis Jr.-Greater Hartford Open. Norris established the tournament record at 259 (25-under), which stood until it was eclipsed in 2009 by Kenny Perry. He was only one of two players to go wire-to-wire without sharing the lead. He defeated Raymond Floyd and Hubert Green by six strokes. His best finish in a Men's major golf championships/major was T-40 at the 1985 PGA Championship.

It definitely was exciting to be the first one chosen, and I think an honor to have the farm preserved. To me it's kind of an honor to know it's going to be preserved for generations to come, and I don't regret putting it in the program at all. I look forward to seeing it remain a farm forever.

This tournament has traditionally been a good one for us. I think the break was good for the guys, because they did not have to focus on their academics, and we were able to arrive here earlier, which gave us more time to practice on the West Coast.

We normally don?t get to practice outside in January, and our first tournament of the spring is usually the first time the guys see grass. I think this is a huge advantage for them because now they feel more confident about their swings going into the first tournament.
