AMATEURS – Sixteen amateurs have made the 156-player field, the seventh consecutive year that 10 or more amateurs are competing. Viktor Hovland, the 2018 U.S. Amateur champion, and Jovan Rebula, who won the 2018 Amateur Championship, conducted by The R&A, are in this group. Hovland, of Norway, defeated Devon Bling, 6 and 5, in last year’s U.S. Amateur final at Pebble Beach Golf Links. Hovland, the first Norwegian to win the U.S. Amateur and the second to win a USGA championship, tied the record for fewest holes (104) needed to capture the Havemeyer Trophy, since the present championship format was adopted in 1979. Hovland, who just completed his junior year at Oklahoma State University, received the Ben Hogan Award as the top collegiate golfer. He was chosen Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and was the runner-up in the Big 12 Championship and NCAA Louisville Regional. Hovland tied for 32nd in this year’s Masters to earn low amateur. Rebula, of South Africa, won The Amateur Championship, a 3-and-2 victory over Robin Dawson at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club. He became the first South African since Bobby Cole in 1966 to win the title. Rebula, a junior at Auburn University and the nephew of two-time U.S. Open champion Ernie Els, was the fifth Tiger to capture the Southeastern Conference individual title when he won in a four-hole playoff this spring. Rebula, who recorded five top-10 finishes, earned first-team All-Southeast Region and All-SEC honors. Matt Parziale, of Brockton, Mass., and Luis Gagne, of Costa Rica, shared low amateur in last year’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club when they tied for 48th. Parziale, the 2017 U.S. Mid-Amateur champion, qualified through the Purchase, N.Y., sectional. He is competing in his 14th USGA championship. Gagne, a senior on the Louisiana State University team who qualified in the Bowling Green, Fla., sectional, advanced to the Round of 32 in last year’s U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach. He earned All-Southeastern Conference recognition for the third consecutive year in 2018-19 and tied for 10th in the NCAA Stanford Regional. He also finished second in the 2019 Latin America Amateur. Stewart Hagestad, Michael Thorbjornsen and Kevin O’Connell have won USGA championships. Hagestad, who was a member of the victorious 2017 USA Walker Cup Team, claimed the 2016 U.S. Mid- Amateur. Thorbjornsen edged Akshay Bhatia, 1 up, in last year’s U.S. Junior Amateur final at Baltusrol Golf Club, in Springfield, N.J. Kevin O’Connell defeated Brett Boner, 4 and 3, to win the 2018 U.S. Mid- Amateur at Charlotte (N.C.) Country Club. Bling, of Ridgecrest, Calif., and Daniel Hillier, of New Zealand, were prominent in last year’s U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach. Bling, the runner-up to Viktor Hovland, made a dramatic run to the final by winning 1-up matches in both the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds. Hillier was the co-medalist in stroke play and advanced to the Round of 32 in match play. Brandon Wu, who helped Stanford win its ninth NCAA championship and third consecutive Pac-12 Conference title in 2019, leads a group of seven collegiate golfers. Chun An Yu, a junior at Arizona State, and Austin Eckroat, a sophomore at Oklahoma State, finished third and tied for eighth at NCAAs, respectively. Others are Chandler Eaton (Duke), Noah Norton (Georgia Tech), Spencer Tibbits (Oregon State) and Cameron Young (Wake Forest). Note: There have been at least 10 amateurs in 12 of the past 13 U.S.

ABOUT WESTCHESTER COUNTRY CLUB Three-time U.S. Amateur champion Walter J. Travis laid out the two 18-hole golf courses at Westchester Country Club, just 30 miles outside New York City, that opened in 1922. The courses were built by the Philadelphia-based architectural firm of Toomey and Flynn who built the modern course at Shinnecock Hills toward the end of the same decade. The club joined the USGA on Jan. 13, 1922, several months before the courses opened for play that summer. The West Course has hosted many memorable golf events over its history. Beginning with the 1923 U.S. Women’s Amateur, the course went on to host 44 PGA Tour events. The Thunderbird Classic came to Westchester in 1963, with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus winning two of the first three years.
