University of North Carolina sophomore David Ford birdied the final hole to win the Jones Cup Invitational by one stroke over Tennessee freshman Caleb Surratt Sunday at the Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga.
The Jones Cup is one of the top amateur tournaments in the world, featuring 16 of the top 50 players in the current World Amateur Golf Rankings. By virtue of winning, Ford earns an exemption into the 2023 RSM Classic, a PGA Tour event next fall at the Sea Island Golf Club.
Ford was in first place after all three days of the Jones Cup.
