Brandon Robison of Centerville, Ut., a sophomore at the University of Utah, won the 2023 Agave Amateur at Shadow Hills Country Club in Indio, Calif., with a birdie on the second playoff hole over Logan Hamak of Sartell, Minn. Robison came into the final round in second place and shot a final round 4-under 67 to finish the tournament at 11-under. 

Hamak shot an identical 4-under 67 to tie with Robison at 11-under. Both players were one shot back heading into the tournament’s final hole when leader Phillip Kench made a double-bogey to force the playoff. 

Playing No. 10, both players parred the first playoff hole, and then Robison birdied the 2nd hole, the par-5 No. 11, when he converted a six-foot birdie putt. According to the tournament officials on site, Robison had to hit his third shot from a divot. 

“Thank you to Shadow Hills for hosting and for the Troon Saguaro Amateur Series for putting on a great tournament," Robison told the Agave Amateur. "This win means a lot to me. It is a validation of all the hard work that I have put in over the past several months.” 

Shadow Hills has now hosted seven Agave Amateurs.

The Troon Saguaro Amateur Series is a world-ranked amateur tournament series that is hosting ten tournaments in the 2023-24 season. This is the 7th year of the Agave Amateur, all held at Shadow Hills in Indio, Calif. The next event will be the Coachella Amateur at Terra Lago GC (North) in Indio, CA, just down the street from Shadow Hills.
