His second round 64 kept him within two shots of the lead. His third round 69 gave him a one stroke lead over the University of San Diego’s Darrin Hall who finished second at 275.
Stephens’ name joins the likes of Hale Irwin, Steve Jones, and Brandt Jobe as past champions of the CGA Stroke Play Championship. Murphy Creek is scheduled to host the 2008 U.S. Amateur Public Links. Last season, Stephens was the Rams’ most consistent performer and earned 2nd-team NAIA All-American honors. He led the team with a 73.8 scoring average, and posted four top-10 and two top-five finishes in 12 events. He will complete his degree at Texas Wesleyan in December. |
