FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) — Vaughn Snyder was too tired to celebrate.

Moments after he had beaten back numerous challengers and had overcome oppressive heat, gusting winds and a treacherous course to win the 102nd Ohio Amateur championship on Friday, he was just looking for a place to rest.

‘‘I’m just exhausted. That was a lot of hard work out there today,’’ he said after his even-par 71 gave him a two-shot victory. ‘‘I’m so tired.’’

Almost an afterthought among several Ohio State players this week, Snyder came off the pace to steal the biggest prize.

On a day when the field averaged just under 76 strokes, he had one of the lowest rounds.

He finished at 283, with a birdie on the final hole, to become the only player in the field of 147 to break par. Most stalked away from Findlay Country Club cursing the conditions, the high temperatures, the gnarly rough, the lightning-fast greens and the dare-you-to-go-for-them pin positions.
