BUIES CREEK, N.C. – After winning his first collegiate title on Tuesday, Gaston Bertinotti of Campbell University has been named the Choice Hotels Big South Conference men's golfer of the week.
A sophomore from Cordoba, Argentina, Bertinotti shot 70-67-68—205 to lead Campbell to a fourth-place finish at the Old Dominion/OBX Collegiate at Kilmarlic Golf Club. He finished the 54-hole event at eight-under-par on the par-71, 6535-yard Kilmarlic layout to win by six strokes.
One day after shooting a collegiate career-low 67, Bertinotti birdied the eighth, 11th, 12th and 14th holes then closed with four-straight pars to earn his first win. Over the 54-hole event, the 2014 Big South Conference runner-up made 35 pars, 12 birdies and one eagle. He played the par-4 holes at 1-under (tied for first in the 84-player field), was event on the par-3s (tied for 5th) and 4-under on the par-5s (T6th).
Bertinotti's individual title was the first for a Campbell men's golfer since Amanjyot Singh won the Keith Hills Invitational, Apr. 1-2, 2013.
The honor marks the second time a Campbell performer has earned Big South men's golf weekly honors this season. Jeremy Nevius claimed the recognition on Oct. 10 after shooting 71-72-72 at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate.
