Three Clemson Golfers Ranked in Top 25 of Latest Amateur Rankings

---

Clemson, SC-Jack Ferguson, Matt Hendrix and Gregg Jones are all

ranked in the top 25 of the latest Golfweek/Titleist men's amateur

rankings. Clemson is the only school in the nation with three

players returning for 2003-04 ranked in the top 25. All three were

starters on Clemson's National Championship team of this past season.

Ferguson, who grew up in Seneca, is currently ranked 11th with 120

points, tied with Camilo Villegas of Columbia, a member of Florida's

golf team. Hendrix, a native of Aiken, SC, made the biggest move in

the nation last week when he won the Sunnehanna Amateur in Johnstown,

PA, a victory that jumped him from 56th to 13th in the rankings.

Gregg Jones finished third at the Sunnehanna and moved from 43rd to

25th.

All three have a chance to move up the rankings this weekend as they

are all participating in the Monroe Amateur in New York. They also

will soon jump up in the standings when Ricky Barnes of Stockton, CA

and the University of Arizona, and Hunter Mahan of McKinney, TX and

Oklahoma State, turn professional within the next six weeks. Barnes

is currently ranked number-one, while Mahan is third. Bill Haas of

Greer, SC and the Wake Forest golf team, is currently second.

In addition to Ferguson, Hendrix and Jones, Clemson sophomore Martin

Catalioto also will be playing at the Monroe Amateur this weekend.

Current Clemson team members Brian Duncan, Stephen Poole and Nick

Biershenk will be playing at Green Valley Country Club in Greenville

this week at the South Carolina Match Play Championship. Biershenk

is the defending champion.
