ATLANTA, Ga. (June 28, 2008)--Now that is how you finish a tournament.

USC rising junior Rory Hie fired a tournament record-tying 10-under-par 62 at the Druid Hills Golf Club to win The Dogwood Invitational by three strokes over 54-hole leader Jonathan Hodge.

Hie finished at 21-under-par 267 over 72 holes.

Hodge, a member of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga golf team, was the runner-up at 270, followed by Hudson Swafford, Harris English, Carlton Forrester and Mark Strickland at 273.

Despite firing three straight rounds in the 60's, Hie found himself tied for 5th, five strokes behind Hodge heading into the final day. His finishing kick was even more impressive considering he overtook seven golfers by finishing with 6 straight birdies and a back nine score of 29.

Hie's career low before the round was 66, which he carded at the Pac-10 Championship in 2007. He recently finished T-13 at the NCAA D-I Championship where the Trojans fell one stroke short of crosstown rivals UCLA for the title.

In the senior division, Johnny Dennis went wire-to-wire, including a final-round 69 to take the victory.

He finished at 212, two strokes better than runner-up Dick Van Leuvan.

ABOUT THE Dogwood Invitational

Tournament week is June 6-11 at Druid Hills Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia. The entry fee includes breakfast and lunch tournament days as well as special events.

The history of this prestigious event extends back to 1941, when legendary amateur Tommy Barnes captured his first of five Dogwood titles. Evolving with the times, the modern Dogwood has produced fine champions like Webb Simpson (’07), Brian Harman (’09), Dawson Armstrong (’15), and in 2019 Brandon Mancheno. This evolution can be seen also in our course renovations and set-up, our relaxed tournament atmosphere, and our spirit of social responsibility.
