AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn junior Jovan Rebula is set to compete for the 22nd annual Georgia Cup Thursday, March 28. The event will take place at The Golf Club of Georgia on the Lakeside Course.

Rebula, who won the 123rd British Amateur with a 3&2 victory over Ireland's Robin Dawson at the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in June, will take on Oklahoma State's Viktor Hovland, who captured the 118th U.S. Amateur earlier this summer.
