HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Vanderbilt men’s golf incoming freshman Jon Ed Steed became the latest Commodore to win a summer amateur event, as he captured medalist honors at the Magnolia Amateur at the Hattiesburg Country Club on Thursday.
Steed won the tournament with a 54-hole score of 14-under 199 with round scores of 66-68-65. He caught fire in Round 3 on Thursday, as he carded 6-under 65 in his final go-around the course in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Steed strung together five birdies on the back nine in the third round, four of which came on Holes 11-14.
The Enterprise, Alabama, native becomes the third Commodore to win an amateur tournament this season, joining sophomore Ryan Downes and incoming transfer Carlos Astiazaran. Downes earned medalist honors at the 117th Massachusetts Amateur back on July 12, while Astiazaran has won the 125th North & South Amateur and the 97th Mexican National Amateur Championship in June.
