He walked off No. 18 with a four-shot win.
Hall shot a course record, bogey-free 9-under 61 to finish the tournament 17-under and run away from the field. Houk finished in solo second place at 13-under.
"I felt the first couple of days, I put up good scores, but I didn't think I had my best stuff," Hall said. "My shorter wedges weren't feeling that tight, and I missed some 5-10 foot putts. I embraced my weaknesses today and faced that head-on, and was not afraid of any shots. I knew I had to go get it."
Hall shot rounds of 68-68-66-61 to win the championship.
"It is not too difficult of a course," Hall said. "The fairways are tight, and the rough is high, but you have a lot of wedges. I was just going to take every opportunity I could and be aggressive to the targets I picked out."
Hall started the final round 5-under through seven holes. A double-bogey on hole No. 4 for Houk gave Hall the outright lead.
And Hall never looked back.
"Some stuff went my way early to pick up the momentum," Hall said.
Hall, a rising senior at the University of Tennessee, finished with 22 birdies, an eagle, three bogeys, and two double-bogeys. Four of the last five Tennessee Amateurs have been won by a Volunteer.
"I felt like I had complete control of my ball," Hall said. "I hit bad shots this week and even today, but a big part of going out there and playing bogey-free is knowing where to miss and what my own tendencies are."
Hall holed out for an eagle on hole No. 11 in the third round with a gap wedge from 120 yards.
"I had a really good game plan for the course and was limiting bogeys as much as I could," Hall said about his 22 birdies to three bogeys for the week.
Evan Woosley-Reed of Shelbyville finished in solo third place at 9-under, Patton Samuels of Clarksville finished in solo fourth place at 7-under, and Micah Stangebye of Brentwood finished in solo fifth place at 5-under.
Samuels joined Hall as the only two golfers in the field to shoot all four rounds under par.
