GOLF | UNFOspreys golfer Jason Duff left no doubt about the top performance at the Jacksonville Amateur.
He led wire-to-wire. Duff shot his lowest career score in competition, breaking his previous low of 66 that he shot in the opening round of the tournament. at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club at 17-under 267 , and beat the previous low score by seven shots since the tournament went back to 54 holes in 2015.
But playing partner Johnny Watts , who tied for second with Luke Cusick at 4-under 212, knows the goods when he sees it. Watts recently got his amateur status back after playing on PGA Tour Latinoamerica and said he rarely saw the focus from guys playing golf for a living as he did out of Duff. The last time one of the players in the field was within three shots of Duff was Andrew Riley, when he chipped in for eagle at the par-5 seventh hole. Duff was waiting in the fairway, saw the Creekside graduate make his 3 and knew it wasn’t over. Instead, it was Duff who turned on the heat.
Duff fired at flags to the end. He bounced his third shot at No. 18 near the flagstick but it trickled into the back bunker. Despite short-siding himself, he blasted out to within a pace of the hole, dropped the putt, allowed himself one fist pump and a broad smile, then embraced his family: his father Terry, his mother Pamela, his grandfather Joe and his sister Jess.
And Duff dusted off a field that included Watts, a former professional, his UNF assistant coach Jeff Dennis and Agustin Tarrigo, the top amateur from Uruguay , who tied for fourth at 3-under.
