BLUFFTON, South Carolina (July 11, 2010) -- Two days after Oklahoma State teammate Peter Uihlein mounted a seven-shot win at the Sahalee Players Championship, Kevin Tway grabbed a seven-shot title of his own – winning the Players Amateur at Belfair Golf Club in Bluffton, S.C.

Tway closed with a bogey-free, 7-under 65 to finish at 14-under 274, topping Georgia Tech’s James White and Arkansas’ Ethan Tracy (281).

Tway played steadily in the first two rounds, firing 70 and 71, respectively. He caught fire on the weekend, turning in a 68 in Round 3 to set the stage for his closing 65. Tway was without a bogey for his final 27 holes.

Last year’s champion, Alabama’s Bud Cauley, finished at even-par 288, good enough for a share of 18th place.

Tway, No. 13 in the Golfweek/Sagarin college rankings, finished T-21 in last year’s Player’s Amateur. Fellow Cowboy Morgan Hoffmann finished T-25 at 3-over 291.

ABOUT THE Players Amateur

While competing in the 1999 US Amateur Championship at Pebble Beach, former US Walker Cup Team members, Duke Delcher and Tom McKnight discussed the formation of a premier 72-hole stroke play amateur golf tournament. The inaugural Players Amateur was held the next summer. Former British Open Champion, Ben Curtis, was the winner of the 2000 event.  In 2004, the Heritage Classic Foundation began running the event. The Heritage Classic Foundation was formed in 1987 as a 501 (c) (3), not- for-profit organization, it serves as the operational and financial oversight group for the PGA Tour RBC Heritage Classic. The Foundation distributes all charitable funds generated from the tournaments to charity. The winner of The Players Amateur gets an exemption into the PGA Tour RBC Heritage Classic, as well as the Master of the Amateurs tournament in Melbourne, Australia.
