| Chris Kirk earned his first career PGA Tour win Sunday |

Fellow former Bulldog Kevin Kisner recorded his best finish of his rookie season on tour by finishing tied for 27th while former Bulldog Matt MaQuillan tied for 34th.
English Wins 105th Southern Amateur

| Harris English wins the 105th Southern Amateur |
Harris English broke out of a five-way jam at the top of the leaderboard to win the 105th Southern Amateur Saturday at Innisbrook Resort Copperhead Course. With five players knotted at 6-under-par heading into the final nine, English birdied four of his next six holes to open a decisive 3-stroke lead over the elite international field.
After a brief lightning delay, English completed his closing round at a tournament low 65 for a 275 total. “I didn’t want to stop while I was on a roll,” said English. He had bunkered his approach to the 17th before play was halted, but resumed with an excellent blast to within a foot of the hole.
With the win, English helps build his case for a spot on the U.S. Walker Cup team this September.
Harris' plans are to turn professional this fall after the amateur season and, therefore, will forgo the exemption that comes with winning the Southern Amateur into the PGA Tour's Bay Hill Invitational.
