Starting the final round one shot off the pace,
Patrick Christovich
shot a 68 to win his fourth straight title at the
Louisiana Mid-
Amateur Championship.
Christovich, who held consideration for one of
the two mid-amateur positions on the 2013
U.S. Walker Cup squad, only boosted his
chances of remaining in the conversation with
the impressive victory.
At The Bluffs Golf Resort in St. Francis, Louis.,
Christovich finished at 3-under and one shot
up on Colin Richwine and Daniel Burger.
After taking the lead early in the final round,
Christovich fell victim to a bogey on the par-4
11th. He showed the resolve that has made
him into one of the country's top mid-
amateurs, though, recording birdies on the
next two holes to put it out of reach.
Earlier this year, Christovich tied for sixth at
the Birmingham National Invitational after
placing second at the 2012 Coleman
Invitational.

PAT WILSON ROLLS TO CHAMPIONSHIP

Wilson raced out to the early lead, winning
seven of the first nine holes, and never looked
back.
NORTH CAROLINA MATCH
PLAY: JENKINS REMAINS IN WINNER'S
CIRCLE
Carter Jenkins added to his impressive summer
by winning the North Carolina Amateur Match
Play at Carolina Country Club. Jenkins, who
won last month's Carolinas Amateur
Championship at The Ocean Course in Kiawah
Island, knocked off Alex Nianouris, 6-and-5 in
Sunday's final.
The rising freshman at UNC Greensboro needed
just 90 minutes to dispatch Nianouris in the
championship match.

Huge put the match to an end by sinking his
chip from 30 feet in back of the flag.
