Sebastian Crampton wins the Alameda Commuters

ALAMEDA, CA (April 30, 2017) - Players often have trouble sleeping on the lead for one night but that doesn't appear to be the case for Sebastian Crampton. The Cal golfer took the first round lead of the 90th Alameda Commuters eight days ago and it never fazed him as he went wire-to-wire to win the two weekend long tournament hosted by the Chuck Corica Golf Complex's Earl Fry North Course. Leading by four at the start of Sunday's final round Crampton closed with a 3-under 69 to post a four round tally of 15-under, which was good for a five-stroke victory. "Winning the Alameda Commuters is definitely a nice booster heading into summer golf and inevitably the fall season," said Crampton, who was one of three players from Cal's 2016 NCAA Championships lineup to redshirt in 2016-17. "I played consistently well both weekends and it absolutely showed in the results. All in all, I'm very pleased coming away this week. However, I still have work to do in order to help us reach our ultimate goal of a championships next season." Coming off a sophomore season at Cal that included two top-10 finishes, Crampton is currently redshirting during his junior year to focus on academics (he has 4.0 GPA) and improving his game. His victory on Sunday came the day before finals begin at Cal. Andrew Bonner was second at 10-under, first round co-leader Jason Anthony and Jake Goodman shared third at 9-under while in fifth it was the 7-under Blake Hathcoat. -Cal athletics contributed to this story ROUND THREE RECAP A week off has done nothing to slow down Sebastian Crampton at the Alameda Commuters hosted by the Chuck Corica Golf Complex's Earl Fry North Course.
