PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Campbell University of Buies Creek, North Carolina, came to the 13th PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Advisor at PGA Golf Club on a mission – to become the first team to capture four titles.
The Camels led wire-to-wire in the 36-hole event, which features players from the 19 colleges and universities accredited by the PGA of America for aspiring PGA Professionals. Campbell built off of its four-stroke lead entering the final round, to win by 11 strokes over runner-up Florida State University.
Campbell and Mississippi State were both vying for a record fourth title, but Campbell prevailed, capitalizing on a game plan to play steady, controlled golf to set the mark.
“When you come to Campbell, we expect you to be a good player – it’s part of the Campbell pride and PGA pride,” said Ken Jones, Director of Campbell’s PGA Golf Management University Program. “We came down with a team that was set up to do this.
We thought it was great that we were paired together with Mississippi State and Coastal
Carolina [in addition to FSU], as we had won eight PGA Jones Cups between the three of us going in. It feels really good to win.”
The PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Advisor is named for the first PGA Golf Management University Program Director at Mississippi State, Dr. S. Roland Jones, who held the position from 1985 until his passing in 1997. The event provides a platform where participants can display professionalism, integrity, character and camaraderie; all characteristics Dr. Jones instilled in PGA Golf Management students.
