MONTEREY, Calif. (May 25, 2008)--Monterey's Chris Marin is making a habit out of winning amateurgolf.com tournaments.

Marin's final round was the best of the tourney. He is currently tops in the amateurgolf.com - Bridgestone Golf Tournament Series Player Rankings, with a 25 point lead over Randy Haag.

Marin defeated San Francisco City champ Martin Trainer by two strokes, with Bill Moore taking third at 150, three strokes off the pace.

In the senior flight, Rob Schneider prevailed by one stroke, topping Rob Adolph with a 79-75--154.

Jason Savorn edged John Steinberger in the net flight.
