The third and final round of the 80th Dixie Amateur saw perfect weather for scoring and the field took advantage of the lack of wind and warm temperatures at Heron Bay Golf Club, Coral Springs in Florida.

Defending Champion Peter Uihlein (pictured with the RandA Mark McCormack Memorial Medal) of Orlando, Florida shot one of thirty rounds in the sixties (66) to win his second Dixie Amateur in a row.
He is the first man since Hal Sutton, later to become a Ryder Cup player and captain, to win two years in a row. Sutton did it in 1978-79. Sutton and Uihlein are the only two post-war back-to-back champions in the Dizie Amateur.
Uihlein, the Oklahoma State University and Walker Cup stand-out, ranked No 1 in the RandA's WAGR, shot 13-under-par 203 in the rain-shortened event (from four to three rounds) to win by two strokes from Indiana University star Brant Peaper from Tequesta, Florida.

It was a tremendous day for Florida Golf as the top four spots were claimed by Floridians. Daniel Mazziotta of Fort Meyers and Kelly McHugh tied for third with Jason Millard of Murpheesboro, Tennessee at 10-under-par 206.
Millard shot the week’s best single day score with a 65 on the tournament’s final day at the 7,100yd Heron Bay lay-out.
Stefan Brewer of Charlotte, North Carolina, came in four strokes back with Tommy Mou of China and another Floridian Zach Sobol of Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Steven Brown from Ascot was the highest-placed English player on four-under-par 212. That earned him a share of 27th place in a quality field.
Wentworth's Curtis Griffiths and Charlie Bull (The Berkshire) finished a shot behind Brown on 213.
George Thacker (Kedleston Park) matched the par of 216.
