LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic -- The flag of the Cayman Islands will fly at Augusta National in April after Aaron Jarvis made birdie on the final hole Sunday for a 3-under 69 and a one-shot victory in a tense ending to the Latin America Amateur Championship.

The victory means Jarvis, a 19-year-old UNLV freshman, earns a spot in the Masters and the Open Championship at St.

Jarvis was one shot behind when his second shot into the par-5 18th on the Teeth of the Dog course at Casa de Campo came up just short and took a big hop onto the green.

His second shot into the 18th drifted to the right, and he pitched about 30 feet long and made par for a 72.

It went about 3 feet beyond the hole, and he missed the birdie putt that would have tied Jarvis.

Marzilio was two behind when he got a big break, a second shot that hit a sprinkler head short of the 18th green, bounced high in the air and settled about 7 feet away for a chance at an eagle that would have forced a playoff.

He missed an approximately 18-foot birdie attempt on the final hole and joined the group that finished one shot behind.

He holed a 20-foot putt to salvage a bogey and stay in the mix, and then made birdie on the 18th, which proved to be the winner.
