Baton Rouge native was the only player to shoot under par all four days
Luke Haskew fired a final round 67 to win the 102nd Louisiana Amateur Championship at Squire Creek Country Club by three shots over runner-up Greg Berthelot.
Haskew, a native of Baton Rouge, was the only player to shoot under par all four days and carded rounds of 71-70-71-67 to finish at nine-under par 279 and win the most prestigious amateur championship in Louisiana.
Haskew, just two weeks shy of his 18th birthday, showcased a tremendous amount of mental fortitude and maturity beyond his years. His final round 67 included one eagle at the par 5 9th hole, five birdies (#2, #4, #13, #16, and #18), ten pars, and two bogeys.
“It means a lot, playing against the best amateurs in the state, especially on this golf course… What a great track it is and winning it feels good because I know the caliber of field I was competing against,” said Haskew.
Berthelot, the 2011 Louisiana Amateur Champion, put some pressure on Haskew after he shot the lowest round of the championship on Sunday, a blistering nine-under par 63. Berthelot’s 63 is tied as the lowest final round in the modern history of the Louisiana Amateur Championship (also Grady Brame, Jr. in 2014 at Le Triomphe G & CC) and one stroke shy of the Squire Creek competition course record.
Rounding out the top-10 were Eli Ortego of Broussard (4-under par 284; T4.) Grayson Gilbert of Monroe (3-under par 285; T4.) 2017 Louisiana Amateur Champion Derek Busby of Ruston (3-under par 285). Nicholas Arcement of Thibodaux was the only other competitor to finish in red figures (2-under par 286).
