Peter Uihlein
Peter Uihlein, the Oklahoma State All-American who grew up
playing Wannamoisett Country Club, won the 50th Northeast Amateur Saturday in record
fashion. Uihlein held off a slew of challengers with a final round 65 and finished
with a tournament record 15-under par total of 261. The previous record of 11-under
265 was set by Dan Woltman in 2009. Uihlein shot 66-68-62-65 through a week dominated
by rain and little wind on the par 69 Donald Ross-designed course. “This is a special
tournament for me after all but growing up here,” Uihlein said. “I’ve played the
Northeast a few times and I’m really happy to have won it and join all the other
great champions of the event.” James White of Georgia Tech finished second at 12
under, while Blayne Barber of Auburn came in at 11-under and finished third. Uihlein
began the day three shots ahead of his nearest competitor, junior star Patrick Rodgers
of Avon, Ind. Rodgers strung together three consecutive birdies to close to within
one shot of the lead but Uihlein held him off with birdies at the 8th, 9th and 11th
holes. Rodgers finished in fourth place at 10-under par. Uihlein finished the tournament
with 19 birdies, one eagle and six bogeys.
