BLUFTON, South Carolina (July 13, 2008) -- Perhaps enjoying conditions he is familiar with, and obviously displaying a hot hand, South Carolina graduate Mark Anderson shot a 10-under 60 today at the Belfair Golf Club to win the Players Amateur by five shots over Australian Matt Jager.
And as unbelievable as that round sounds (we haven't heard of any 59's in amateur golf in quite some time) his 60 was not the only one.
Georgia Tech junior Chesson Hadley closed with a 60 of his own. He finished in 7th place.
Australians Matt Griffin and Josh Younger finished in a tie for third at 14-under 266.
As the winner of the Players Amateur, Anderson earned a spot into the 2009 Verizon Heritage Classic on the PGA Tour, and into the 2009 NEC Master of the Amateurs Championship in Australia
