If he does, bet on him. Hammer, an 18-year-old perpetual mo- Cover tion machine, played 76 holes in match play on Friday and Satur- Story Iday, and survived all four matches. Two of them went to the 20th hole. Another turned on his opponent’s drive landing in a divot when Hammer was two down with five holes remaining. Before that, he’d run the table in stroke-play qualifying, his 23-under-par 261 – which Sam Stevens stunningly matched – turning Sunset Ridge Country Club’s scorecard upside down. His Western Amateur championship match with Davis Riley at Sun- set Ridge on Saturday, August 4, appeared for a time to be a rout. Ham- mer was 4-up at the turn. Then Riley rallied, cutting the gap to 1-up after his birdie on the par-5 16th, even though he questioned the pin placement. Riley could get no closer, halving the last two holes to make Ham- mer the 1-up champion. Hammer isn’t the youngest to win, nor did he dominate, as the two 20-hole wins will attest, but he may have the most complete game at 18 since Tiger Woods.

Instead, Kim’s mind worked overtime. “I probably went through a million different scenarios,” Kim said. “Making birdies out of the gate, losing the lead after a few holes. It wasn’t all confidence with the season I’ve had. It would have been weird if I was 100 percent confident.” Kim, who turned 25 on the Saturday of the third round, had made the cut in only eight of 22 previous starts this season. Now, by virtue of steamrolling the field, he flew off to Carnoustie for the British Open, will get an invitation to next year’s Masters, has an exemption through the 2019-20 season on the PGA Tour, and is a lock for at least the first tournament in this year’s play- offs. Not bad for a South Korean-born American who grew up in San Diego watching Tiger Woods win week after week on television. “As a kid you don’t really know how hard that is, how much work that takes,” Kim said. “To be sitting here with the trophy, I’m at a loss for words.

To see it drop (on No. 2) really, really calmed me down. On 3, I don’t know. As soon as I lined it up it felt like it was going to go in.” The putts went in from 12, 15 and 24 feet, and like that, he was 25-under and threatening Steve Stricker’s record of 26-under 258, set in 2010. He matched it with a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 8 and surpassed it with a 20-foot putt for a deuce on the par-3 16th. After that one, he cupped his left hand to his ear to better enjoy the cheers of the crowd, one which usually enjoys a battle down the stretch but this time roared for a rout. “Did Patrick Reed do something like that at the ? I felt I got it from him,” Kim said. “Once I got past 15, I felt I could do whatever the last three holes and still get away with the trophy. I think I got a little excited.” He was even more excited when, upon reach- ing the 18th green, he spied his family on the big video screen. Then he saw them standing on the hillside. After his final putt dropped, there was a Jeff Boll / John Deere Classic Hale and Hardy Nick hugfest.

The bigger names came to the fore on Friday, which was not unexpected. “I think everybody will be nervous; every- body wants to win this trophy,” said Inkster of the final 36 holes. “It being the inaugural and seeing Carner and Alcott and Bradley out there support- ing this, they didn’t have to play. They wanted to play, and they wanted to support the Senior Open.” The latter is especially true. Aside from Ar- nold Palmer, who hated to put down the clubs, the 70ish crowd generally isn’t playing in the U.S. Senior Open even if eligible. But many of the greats of the past, including Carner, Stacy and Bradley, who had campaigned for the USGA to create this, were ready when Thursday morning arrived. Carner played three full practice rounds at Chicago Golf, walking each day, to get ready for the no-cart grind. Alas, she missed the cut.
