Notes:

Reigning Georgia Amateur champion Colin Bowles of Albany and Robert Ghirardini of Atlanta share medalist honors and qualify for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at 2-under-par 69.

Three others finished at 1-under-par 70, including Nicolas Cassidy of Johns Creek, Ben Carr of Columbus and Davis Thompson of Auburn, Ala. A playoff was then needed to determine the final two qualifying spots and first alternate position. After one playoff hole (#1), Carr and Thompson secured the two qualifying spots, while Cassidy finished as first alternate.

A second playoff was needed between the players at even-par 71 to decide the second alternate spot: Beck Burnette of Blairsville, Wilson Andress of Macon and Connor Creasy of Abingdon, Va. On the first playoff hole (#10), Burnette made par to finish as second alternate.

The 70th U.S. Junior Amateur Championship will be held at Flint Hills National Golf Club in Andover, Kansas, July 17-22. The U.S. Senior Open is one of 13 national championships conducted annually by the United States Golf Association.
