PGA Tour's Billy Horschel to sponsor AJGA tournament near Atlanta, replacing First Coast event
of Ponte Vedra Beach will sponsor an American Junior Golf Association tournament near Atlanta, after being associated with an event on the First Coast from 2017-2023. Horschel, an eight-time PGA Tour winner, will sponsor the AJGA Atlanta Classic through his Family Foundation Aug. 22-24 at the Planterra Club in Peachtree City, Ga. The tournament will be played at the Planterra Club for the third year in a row and in Fayette County, Ga., for the sixth year. The Billy Horschel Championship, presented by Zurich, was played from 2017-2023, three times at Eagle Harbor (2017, 2018 and 2023) and at the TPC Sawgrass Dye's Valley (2021) and The Palencia Club (2022). In a news release, the AJGA said, "Horschel's tournament, which is relocating from the Jacksonville area, brings a fresh chapter for both Horschel and the AJGA in Georgia."

Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach fades late, misses cut at PGA Tour's ISCO Championship
Miles Russell was two shots inside the cut line when he birdied the par-5 10th hole at the Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Ky., on July 11 in the second round of the PGA Tour's ISCO Championship.

Russell had to birdie one of the last three holes to make the weekend but two-putted for par at Nos. 16 and 17 and missed the 18th fairway to the left, forcing him to gouge a shot out of heavy rough and under the branches of a tree.

Russell had 30 feet for par, sent a chip 9 feet past the hole and made that for bogey. Russell was trying to become the second First Coast teenager to make a cut on the PGA Tour this summer.

His troubles began with a three-putt for bogey at No. 11. Russell failed to make par after hitting into the left bunker at the par-3 13th hole and into the back fringe at the par-4 15th, missing putts of 11 and 6 feet.
