Alex Jordan Wins Nevada State Amateur Title with Fine Back Nine
Alex Jordan knew he had to go low on the back nine to win his first Nevada State Amateur title. Jordan did just that–shooting a 32 on the inward nine at TPC Summerlin — to win, coming from behind to catch second-round leader Edward Fryatt. Jordan defeated Hazen Newman by three shots and Fryatt faded to a tie for third with Brady Exber.
“I was 1 over on the front and knew I had to get something going on the back,” Jordan said. “I birdied 11, 13, 14 and 16 coming in to shoot 4 under on the back nine and that is what catapulted me to the win.
“It’s really good for me because I have been putting in a lot of work on my game. I am really happy it’s finally coming around and I am able to win some tournaments. It was cool to see all of those names of the past champions on the trophy. I am really honored.”
