Brandon Robison of Centerville, Utah, made a six-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to turn back Logan Hamak of Sartell, Minn., and win the seventh Agave Amateur Championship at Shadow Hills Country Club in Indio.
The tournament is part of the Troon Saguaro Amateur Series.
Robison, who is a sophomore at the University of Utah, posted a score of 69-66-67—202, 11-under-par, while Hamak wound up at 70-65-67—202.
“Thank you to Shadow Hills for hosting and for the Troon Saguaro Amateur Series for putting on a great tournament,” said Robison, who won the 2019 Rose Park Junior Championship, the 2018 Lynn Summerhays Junior Championship and tied for first in the 2017 Utah State Junior Championship.
“This win means a lot to me. It is a validation of all the hard work that I have put in over the past several months.”
Robison and Hamak each made two birdies on the back nine and got into the playoff when leader Phillip Kench stumbled to a double-bogey 6 on the final hole to wind up solo third at 67-67-69—203.
