SOUTH CAROLINA’S MARK ANDERSON WINS BMW CHARITY PRO-AM

Greenville, SC - 05/19/2013

In his four-year professional golf career, Mark Anderson has experienced his fair share of highs and lows. After two early years on the Web.com Tour, Anderson gained his PGA TOUR card in 2012, but failed to crack the top 200 in the FedExCup standings. Despite struggling on the Web.com Tour early on this season, he’s a winner now and more than happy that his most significant victory to date came in his native state of South Carolina. In his 60th career start on the Web.com Tour, the Beaufort native from the southern end of the Palmetto state shot a 6-under-par 65 and cruised to his first victory on the circuit, claiming the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation by five strokes over Tom Hoge, a product of Texas Christian University who is in his second year on the Web.com Tour.
