Chesterfield, VA (July 3, 2005)…Gareth
Maybin (Ballyclare, Northern Ireland) fired a three-under par 69
Sunday in the final round of The Base Camp Realty-Chesdin Landing
Open presented by Pearson Dealerships and Michelob Ultra over the
6767 yard, par 72 Lake Chesdin Golf Club to earn his first career
Hooters Tour Title.
“This feels awesome, there will be a lot of
happy people back home in Ireland,” said the 24 year-old Maybin. “My
ten sponsors will be partying it up tonight back in Ballyclare at
the Five Corners Pub.”
The South Alabama graduate fired four
straight rounds in the sixties and finished at seventeen-under par
271 for the week and held off a charge from Colombia’s Camilo
Benedetti, who finished all alone in 2nd place at
fifteen-under par 283.
“I got off to a good start this week with
the 66, and I usually always play well on the weekend, so I just
played my normal game and I putted great this week also,” said
Maybin after collecting his winner’s check.
Nick Rousey (Pensacola, FL), the tour’s
leading money winner, closed with a one-under par 71 to finish all
alone in third place at thirteen-under 275.
Maybin collects a career best $31,000 for
his first career win, while Benedetti takes home $15,353 and Rousey
takes home $10,206.
“I will probably buy myself a motorcycle
with this money,” said Mobile, Alabama resident. “Plus I have to pay
for my mom and my girlfriend to fly into Mobile on Monday.”
Richmond’s Ted Brown led the Virginia
contingent in the Base Camp Realty-Chesdin Landing Open after
carding a four day total of 282, six-under par. Blackstone’s Cameron

Woodson (Powhatan) closed with a one-over 73 and finished with a
