McDonough resident Jake Maples had Sunday’s second-best round, leading him to a tie for 22nd in the 99th Georgia Amateur Championship at Atlantic Athletic Club’s Highlands Course.

Maples, a Union Grove grad who played the past two seasons on Georgia Southern’s golf team, closed with a 1-under-par 70, one of only seven rounds of par or better on the day, to finish at 9-over 222 in the three-day tournament. Only one other player shot under par on Sunday. His final round was highlighted by a 33 on the back nine that featured an eagle on No. 11 and a birdie on No. 12.
