Martinez Finishes 14th at ASC Championships

Arnie Martinez stood in sixth place at the ASC Championships in McKinney, TX after two rounds of play.  Despite a disastrous start to the third round (back-to-back double bogeys) Martinez got two of the shots back with birdies on his fourth and eighth holes. 

Unfortunately, that's when the storms rolled in on the Stonebridge Ranch course.  During the time when the storms were heaviest, Martinez had a rough stretch of holes early on his final nine and narrowly missed making All-ASC by two shots.  Martinez shot 74-74-80 over the two days of the championships and competed as an individual.  This is the first year that the ASC only allowed the top eight qualifying teams to compete for the men's championship.  In the past, all teams were invited to the championship tournament.  To qualify for the championships this year, players had to meet eligibility requirements.  Martinez was the only individual from any ASC team not already qualified for the championships that met the eligibility criteria to compete.
