T.J. Bordeaux Earns March Competitor of the Month Award

April 11, 2008

Stockton, Calif. - Tiger freshman golfer T.J. Bordeaux (Tacoma, Wash.) has earned the March Pacific Competitor of the Month award.

Bordeaux became the first Pacific golfer to win an event since 2003 as he carded a 6-under par total of 210, winning the Oregon Duck Classic (March 24-25) title by five strokes. His effort helped the Tigers to a fourth place finish out of 11 teams. On March 10-11, Bordeaux finished 12th at the Fresno Lexus Classic, shooting a 4-under par 212, to mark his sixth Top 20 individual finish this season.

"Athletic feats not withstanding, T.J. has stepped in as a leader for the Tigers as a freshman and taken every opportunity possible to compete at every level," said head coach Brandon Goethals.

The award is given each month to a Pacific individual to recognize unusual or remarkable competitive effort.
