The Georgia Southern wins are piling up this summer. Mason Williams added his name to the list.
Williams, from Bridgeport, Va., went full speed ahead in the final round of the 72-hole event at the Meadows Course and Old White TPC. Playing at the Meadows, Williams opened with back-to-back birdies. He had three more birdies on the front and turned in 31. He finished the day with a 6-under 64, which was the lowest round of any competitor.
At 19, Williams becomes the youngest winner of the event since 1966. The spoils for this one are also big. Courtesy of his state amateur title, Williams earned a spot in the PGA Tour’s Greenbrier Classic.
Already this summer, two of Williams’ teammates have won major amateur events. Ben Carr won the Southeastern Amateur in June and Jake Maples won the Chattanooga Choo Choo last month.
