and
continued to lead until the last putt
dropped,
taking the title by six shots with a three
day

65 was a great way to start the event, even
with a double bogey on the 16th hole," said
Christovich after the round. "It is the second
time I have shot 6-under to start an event,
the other was at the Louisiana Mid-Amateur 2
years ago."

in
second place, posting rounds of 73-68-69-

"The
National
Invitational Tournament at Birmingham is an
event that I have been looking forward to
playing in for years," added Christovich. "I am
honored to have my name listed on that trophy
along side of some fantastic past Amateur
champions."
