Delahoussaye Wins Monroe Invitational

---

Clemson, SC-Brent Delahoussaye fired a final round 69, his third

round in the 60s in four days, and won the Monroe Invitational on

Saturday afternoon in Pittsford, NY. The event was held at the

Monroe Country Club in upstate New York and features 60 of the top

amateur golfers in the nation.

Delahoussaye, who red-shirted this past season as a member of

Clemson's National Championship team, looks to fill one of the two

spots open on next year's starting lineup as the result of the

graduation of D.J Trahan and Ben Duncan. Trahan won the Monroe

Invitational last year.

The rising junior who attended Riverside High School in

Greenville had rounds of 67-73-65-69 for a 274 total on the par 70

course and won by one shot over Peter Tomasulo, a golfer at the

University of California, and Casey Wittenberg an amateur golfer from

Memphis, TN.

This marked the third straight victory for a Clemson golfer,

or team in a major amateur event. Clemson won the NCAA team

championship at Stillwater, OK on May 30th. Last Sunday, Matt

Hendrix, a rising senior on the 2004 Clemson team, won the Sunnehanna

Invitational in Pennsylvania. Now, Delahoussaye has added his name

to the list.

Hendrix also competed in the Monroe and finished fourth

overall with a 276 total, four-under par. He had a 68 on Saturday to

go with previous rounds of 70-68-70. Gregg Jones, who will also be a

senior at Clemson next year, finished ninth with a 280 total after

rounds of 70-69-71-70. Jack Ferguson, who will be a junior on

Clemson's team next year, had round of 74-68-68-75 and finished 26th

with a 285 total. Rising sophomore Martin Catalioto finished at

290, 10-over-par and in 44th place.
