David Ford won the Jones Cup Invitational in dramatic fashion late Sunday afternoon when he made a birdie putt on the 18th hole at the Ocean Forest Golf Club on Sea Island, Georgia, to bring the first tournament of the 2023 season in amateur golf to a rousing conclusion.
Ford’s 18-foot downhill putt at the par-4 finishing hole, which plays along the seashore, gave him a one-shot victory against Caleb Surratt and also landed the Peachtree Corners, Georgia, native his second amateur golf major championship in less than six full months.
