Charles Warren capped off a dominant week at the 2025 Rice Planters Amateur with a steady final-round 69 to finish at 201 (-15), securing a one-shot victory over Connor Doyal of Auburn.
The Wofford College junior opened the week with rounds of 68 and 64, then fended off a fierce charge from Doyal, who closed with 68 to finish just one shot back at 202 (-14). Warren’s final round featured five birdies, including two clutch ones on holes 15 and 16, to hold off the field and seal the win. His poise in the closing stretch—where so many stumble—was the difference maker.
Doyal was brilliant again on Friday, building on his Round 2 63 with another aggressive effort. Tyler Sabo (Ohio State) rounded out the top three at 203 (-13) with three consistent rounds of 71-66-66.
Jack Crousore of Minnesota posted the low round of the day—63—to surge into a T4 finish. Zachary Frazer (Furman), Patton Samuels (Austin Peay), and Miles Eubanks (Charleston) also finished inside the top 10.
This year’s edition delivered the low scores, drama, and breakout performances that define the Rice Planters legacy. Warren becomes the latest in a long line of champions at Snee Farm—and one whose name may be worth watching on bigger stages ahead.

The Rice Planters Amateur is more than just a tournament—it's a launchpad for future greatness. Held annually at Snee Farm Country Club since 1973, this storied event has seen the likes of Tom Lehman, Davis Love III, Stewart Cink, and Brooks Koepka walk its fairways before making their mark on professional golf.
As the 53rd edition gets underway, this year’s field is a fitting tribute to the legacy of founder Dick “R.P.” Horne, who passed away in 2024. It’s a blend of decorated college golfers, rising international stars, and mid-amateurs, all playing for pride, a trophy, and a place in history.
Look for breakout rounds late, and don’t be surprised if the eventual champion surges from behind on Friday’s final nine.
Snee Farm Country Club is a hidden Lowcountry gem designed by George Cobb, the architect behind Augusta National’s par-3 course. Opened in 1970, the layout is a blend of strategic shot values, Southern charm, and deceptive simplicity. Measuring just under 6,800 yards at par 72, it places a premium on placement, not power.
The routing is tree-lined but fair, with small, elevated Bermuda greens that demand confident approach play and excellent touch. Water hazards and forced carries appear late in the round, including on the picturesque par-3 16th and drivable par-4 17th—two holes that have shaped many past champions.
What makes Snee Farm shine is its balance of risk and restraint. Birdie runs are possible—especially on the front nine—but double bogeys lurk when players miss on the short side or misjudge the wind. The closing stretch (holes 15–18) is among the most dynamic in Southeastern amateur golf and guarantees drama during the final round.
Snee Farm rewards creative shotmakers and confident putters—traits you’ll find in every past Rice Planters champion. As one former winner put it: “You don’t overpower Snee Farm. You out-think it.”
This year’s competitors represent six countries and over 60 universities. Headliners include:
