Arizona State commit from Escondido, Calif. posts one-stroke victory at Shadow Hills in Indio
The Arizona State commit from Escondido, Calif. posted rounds of 69-66-71 to finish at 8-under, which was good for a one-stroke victory over Alexander Gibalevich, who plays collegiately at the University of Denver.
“This win means a lot as it is my first amateur win and knowing I can compete with collegiate and older players," said Williams, who is a senior at San Pasqual High School in Escondido. "It gives me the confidence I can compete on the amateur level and still win after facing adversity. "I had a really good stretch of golf in my last 16 holes the second round, shooting 29 on the back after I was three-over after two holes. I stayed patient and took my opportunities when they came to me this week.”
Shane Muldowney final round of 5-under 66, which was the lowest round of the tournament, earned the UC Davis player third place at 6-under.
The Agave Amateur is the eighth tournament in the 2022-23 Troon Saguaro Amateur Series. The next event will be the inaugural Coachella Amateur which gets underway on Wednesday at Terra Lago Golf Club's North Course.
