Blayne Barber won the St. Augustine Amateur on Sunday, closing with a 4-over 74 at St. Johns Golf Club in St. Augustine, Fla.

Barber, a sophomore at Auburn, finished at even-par 210 to top Wesley Graham (71) by three shots and Bill Jones (72) by four shots.

Barber competed at Central Florida as a freshman last season before transferring to Auburn in August so he could continue to work with coach Nick Clinard, who left UCF and took over as head coach of the Tigers in the summer. Barber, of Lake City, Fla., led the Knights to victories at the Conference USA Championship and NCAA East Regional. He was named Conference USA Player of the Year and second team All-American.

Per UCF transfer rules, Barber is sitting out this season at Auburn.
