MONROE - After building a huge lead on Monday, Lamar University led by Mark Cooper, captured the Second Annual ULM/Fred Marx Invitational, Tuesday at the Bayou DeSaird Country Club.

Cooper finished the tournament with a 2-under 70 final round. He was one of only two players to shoot below par for the final 18-holes of play. Cooper shot 71 and 64 on Monday and ended with a remarkable three-round total of 205.

Teammate Chris Stroud was the tournament runner-up with a 213 (72-67-74). Halli Heimisson of Louisiana Tech was third (71-70-74, 215), and Shawn Stefani of Lamar was fourth (72-69-76, 217).

Alabama-Birmingham and Tulane tied for second 35 strokes behind Lamar having a three-round total of 884, with Southern Mississippi finishing fourth with a 891 total.
