Zane Thomas Wins SNGA Southern Nevada Amateur, a Major

Las Vegas, Nevada—Zane Thomas, a former Arbor View High School player and a member of the UNLV golf team for a brief time, shot a final round even par 72 at Spanish Trail Golf and Country Club to win the Southern Nevada Amateur. Thomas held off former PGA TOUR player and UNLV All-American Edward Fryatt to win the tournament. The tournament is a major championship on the Southern Nevada Golf Association Championship Series.

Fryatt recorded a 3-under par 69 in the final round, including birdies on three of his first five holes, and both he and Thomas ended regulation tied at 5-under par. Thomas was awarded the victory when Fryatt decided against participating in a playoff because he had to catch a plane to Columbus, Ohio, where he is participating in a U.S. Open Sectional qualifying event. Fryatt retained his lead in the Player of the Year standings.

Maxwell Marsico shot a final round 72 to finish alone in third place. Ben Davis also shot an even par 72 in the final round to finish fourth. Alex Lyon, Greg Horodesky and Jack Trent finished in a tie for fifth.

Gary Carpendale won the Senior Division and Jim Myers won the Super Senior Division.
