Locust Grove resident Davin White swept into the lead Tuesday with birdies on his first three holes and then closed with a back-nine 33 to seize his second APGA Tour victory, edging decorated veteran Tim O’Neal by one stroke in the Farmers Insurance Atlanta Championship at White Oak Golf Club at the Clubs of Peachtree City.
The former All-Sun Belt Conference golfer at Georgia State and winner of the 2015 Georgia Open outdueled O’Neal and first-round leader Marcus Manley in the final group. White’s birdie on 16 pulled him even with O’Neal, who bogeyed 17 after an errant tee shot to fall one shot behind. On 18, O’Neal missed a birdie putt from 30 feet giving White two putts from 20 feet to capture the victory and pocket the $7,500 first prize from the $25,000 purse.
