Clay Ogden, who beat Michelle Wie in the quarterfinals of the U.S. men's Public Links Championship, won the title with a 1-up victory over Martin Ureta.
Ogden, a junior at Brigham Young, earned the invitation to next April's Masters. Ogden and Ureta, a junior at North Carolina, both earned exemptions into this year's U.S. Amateur.
Ogden, who lost in a quarterfinal to eventual champion Ryan Moore in last year's Public Links, trailed for most of the 36-hole final at Shaker Run Golf Club in Lebanon, Ohio. The 20-year-old did not take the lead until the 34th hole -- the 441-yard 16th -- when he hit a pitching wedge to 2 feet from 118 yards and made birdie.
Australian rookie Brendan Jones shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-shot lead after the third round of the B.C. Open in Endicott, N.Y.
Jones, whose best PGA Tour finish this year was a tie for 14th at the Zurich Classic, finished at 19-under 197, one shot off the tournament record for 54 holes.
One shot back were Ryan Palmer (67), Jason Bohn (66) and India's Arjun Atwal (65).
Janice Moodie topped the Canadian Women's Open field for the third straight round, shooting an even-par 72 for a one-stroke lead over Angela Stanford.
Moodie had a 9-under 207 total. Stanford birdied the final hole for a 70, and Dorothy Delasin shot a 69 -- matching the best round of the day -- to join South Korea's Il Mi Chung (72) at 7 under.
