Campbell Grad David Mathis moves to top of Nationwide Tour money list

No one enters the 2008 Bank of America Open (May 29-June 1 in Glenview, Ill.) hotter than current money-leader (and Campbell University graduate) David Mathis, who has a six-tournament streak of top-25 finishes.

In his last three starts, Mathis tied for sixth at the South Georgia Classic, won the BMW Charity Pro-Am and was runner-up at last week's Melwood Prince George's County Open. Mathis has all but locked up his PGA TOUR card for 2009, currently holding the Tour lead with $223,679 in earnings.

Prior to the South Georgia Classic back in early May, Mathis was in 58th place on the Nationwide Tour money list. Since then, however, he's produced three-straight top-10 finishes including his first Nationwide Tour victory.

A Raleigh, N.C., resident, Mathis ranks second in the Nationwide Tour in putting average (1.721) and third in putts per round (28.61). He is eighth in birdie average (3.78), 14th in scoring percentage (71.22) and 64th in driving distance.

Mathis will return home next week (June 5-8) to play in the Rex Hospital Open at TPC Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh.
