Camby’s Fred Mattingly used a couple of hot streaks to fire a 6-under par 66 and capture the Nike/Advantage Golf Monticello Open at Tippecanoe Country Club. After a relatively uneventful start to his round, Mattingly entered the par 4 8^th hole at even par. That is where Mattingly’s round changed from dull to dramatic.

Mattingly sank a 20-foot birdie putt on the 430-yard par 4 eighth hole. He then added another birdie on the 190 yard par 3 ninth with a side hill curling putt. He rounded out the first streak of the day with a 3-foot eagle putt on the 280-yard par 4 tenth to go to 4-under par.

After a bogey on the 460 yard 11^th, Mattingly, who works at the Dick’s Sporting Goods in Plainfield, put together a string of pars until he reached the par 3 15^th. A 45-foot birdie putt set Mattingly off to another streak. After the birdie on 15, Mattingly hit his approach to just 3 feet on the 417 yard 16^th hole where he successfully holed the putt for another birdie. He then 2 putted the 513 yard 17^th to cap off his second hot streak of the day. Mattingly carded six birdies and one eagle on the day.

Mattingly closed the round with a par on 18 to finish at 6-under par 66 which was a competitive record for him.

“I drove it well all day,” said Mattingly. “I only hit about 3 shots off-line and made birdie on one of those holes.” The win was Mattingly’s first in an Indiana Section PGA event. He finished in second place in an Indiana PGA Tournament Series event in 2007 at Sultan’s Run Golf Course in Jasper.

Indianapolis’ Chris Clemens carded a 68 that left him alone in second place. Clemens captured the Indiana Golf Association’s Tournament of Champions in May.
