In what ended up being a crowded leaderboard, Kelly Chinn finished 6-under to hold off a host of chasers by one shot and win medalist honors at the North & South Men's Amateur at Pinehurst Resort.

Chinn shot a first-round 4-under 67 on No. 8 and a second-round 2-under 68 on No. 2 to get to 6-under and finish one shot ahead of Jackson Van Paris, Garrett Risner, and Brycen Jones. Jones, Risner, and Van Paris finished stroke play at 5-under and T2.

In the stroke play two rounds, Chinn recorded 11 birdies, three bogeys, and a double bogey. To start his second round on No. 2, he recorded birdies on Holes No. 2, 3, and 4 to jump out to a hot start.

Chinn finished T51 earlier in the month in the Elite Amateur Golf Series and is currently ranked No. 196 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings.
