Endicott Finishes Southern Amateur Runner-Up

STARKVILLE – Bulldog golfer Garrett Endicott finished runner-up at the prestigious Southern Amateur. This year's edition was held at the Blessings Golf Club in Johnson, Arkansas.

Endicott got off to a hot start with rounds of 4-under 68 and 5-under 67 to place himself atop the leaderboard. He held the lead after a gritty third round of 1-over and ultimately finished in solo second.

This is his second top 10 of the summer, having finished seventh at the Sunnehanna Amateur, and his third top-20 showing in as many starts.

Prior to the Southern Amateur, Endicott was ranked 79th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, the highest standing of his career. His top-100 ranking earned him an automatic exemption into the U.S. Amateur in August.

The Southern Amateur was first held in 1902 and is considered one of the most prestigious events in amateur golf. Past winners include eventual major champions Bobby Jones, Lanny Wadkins, Ben Crenshaw, Justin Leonard and Webb Simpson.
