AJ Salierno Cruises to Four-Shot Win at YellowHammer Invitational

AJ Salierno protected a two-shot lead in the final round and cruised to a four-shot victory Tuesday at the YellowHammer Invitational, closing with a two-under 70 at RTJ Grand National's Lake Course to finish 12-under 204.

The Newnan, Georgia, native used a second-round 66 to seize control, then steadied himself down the stretch to add another title before he heads to Kennesaw State University this fall. His 68-66-70 total gave him comfortable breathing room on a course that has produced tight finishes in each of its first three runnings.
