The U.S. Amateur Championship is the oldest golf championship in America, one day older than the U.S. Open. Other than an eight-year period from 1965-1972, when it was contested at stroke play, the Amateur has been a match-play championship. Throughout its history, the U.S. Amateur has been the most prestigious of all amateur titles. Many of the great names of professional golf, such as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gene Littler, Lanny Wadkins, Craig Stadler, Jerry Pate, Mark O'Meara, Hal Sutton, Justin Leonard, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, grace the Havemeyer Trophy. It was, however, legendary amateur Bob Jones who first attracted national media coverage and sparked spectator attendance at the U.S. Amateur. Jones won the championship five times (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1930). His 1930 victory was a landmark moment in golf history when, at Merion Cricket Club in Ardmore, Pa., Jones completed the Grand Slam, winning the four major American and British championships in one year. Sixty-six years later, in 1996, Woods attracted similar interest and enthusiasm at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore., when he won a record third straight U.S. Amateur, having registered 18 consecutive match- play victories. In 1994, Woods, at 18, had first entered the record book as the youngest ever to win the U.S. Amateur, following his three consecutive U.S. Junior Amateur titles (1991-1993). That record for youngest champion has since been broken, first by 18-year-old Danny Lee in 2008 at Pinehurst No. 2 in the Village of Pinehurst, N.C., and then in 2009, when 17-year-old Byeong-Hun An won at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla., with a 7-and-5 victory over Ben Martin of Greenwood, S.C. 2017 CHAMPION Doc Redman, 19, of Raleigh, N.C., completed a comeback for the history books by making an eagle and a birdie on the 35th and 36th holes, then adding a conceded birdie on the 37th hole to defeat Doug Ghim, of Arlington Heights, Ill., and capture the 117th U.S. Amateur Championship at The Riviera Country Club. It was a final match that featured brilliant shotmaking and putting by both Redman and Ghim, with neither player holding larger than a 2-up lead. Redman rallied to square the match by dropping a 60-foot putt from the back of the green for an eagle on the par-5 17th, then converting an 8-footer for birdie on No. 18. Ghim had putts for birdie on No. 17 and for par on No. 18, but never got the chance to attempt either of them. On the 37th hole, Riviera’s famed 315-yard par 4 10th, Redman drilled his tee shot into perfect position, at the front entrance to the steep, narrow green that runs away from the player. Ghim hooked his 3-wood tee shot into nasty rough and was forced to thrash the ball out with a wedge. It came out hot and ran through the green into the front bunker. After going bunker to bunker, then missing his bogey putt, Ghim conceded Redman’s 12-footer for birdie, and the match. PEBBLE BEACH HISTORY Pebble Beach Golf Links is part of the famous 17-Mile Drive, which was originally designed as a local excursion route for visitors to the Del Monte to take in the historic sights of Monterey and Pacific Grove and the scenery of what would become Pebble Beach. The course was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant and opened on February 22, 1919. Neville’s objective was to place as many of the holes as possible along the Monterey coast line and he accomplished this by using a “figure 8” layout. The first professional tournament held at Pebble Beach was the 1926 Monterey Peninsula Open. In 1929, the course hosted the U.S. Amateur Championship for the first time. In 1947, Pebble Beach became one of the host courses for the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am, which is currently known as the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Pebble Beach has hosted 11 USGA championships, including five U.S. Opens and four U.S. Amateurs, and was the site of the 1977 PGA Championship. The course has also hosted the PGA Tour Champions’ PURE Insurance Championship since 2004. USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS AT PEBBLE BEACH 1929 U.S. Amateur: Harrison R. Johnston def. Dr. O.F.
