105th TEXAS AMATEUR Presented by Insperity
ALLAS—For the moment at least,
Will Zalatoris has bragging rights
over his hometown contemporaries
Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler.
All three played junior golf together
on the Legends Junior Tour, each pushing
the others to work harder, practice longer
and, ultimately, win more tournaments.
Zalatoris, a 17-year-old from Plano,
on June 15 accomplished something neither
Spieth, a two-time U.S. Junior champion
and PGA Tour winner, nor Scheffler,
the reigning U.S. Junior champion,
have done in their careers.
With a bogey-free final nine holes and
a closing 3-under-par 68 at the prestigious
Brook Hollow Golf Club, Zalatoris held
off a hard-charging Stratton Nolen of
Austin to win the 105th Texas Amateur
presented by Insperity.
An incoming freshman at Wake Forest
and winner of the prestigious Arnold
Palmer Scholarship, Zalatoris finished at
10-under 274, good for a three-shot victory
over Nolen, who posted 7-under 277.
