Republican Members of Congress, led by Rep. Mike Oxley (above), maintained their dominance in the annual First Tee Congressional Challenge on Monday, taking home the coveted Roll Call Cup with a 10.5-9.5 victory over the Democrats.

The event, held at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Md., raised $100,000 for the First Tee program to benefit youth. But wait — there’s more. Each of the 20 participants pledged $1,000 to the Hurricane Katrina relief charity of his choice.
