Akshay Bhatia of Wake Forest, North Carolina, won the Jones Cup Invitational after making par on the first playoff hole. Bhatia carded an even-par 72 in the first round that left him T4 and four strokes back. He had four birdies during his second round and finished with a 2-under-par 70 on the day to put him at 2-under-par 142 for the tournament which was shortened to 36 holes because of heavy rain. With his win, the 17-year-old earned a spot in the 2019 RSM Classic to be held in November. Bhatia is No. 1 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings and has six AJGA victories.
