Tickets are not needed for this USGA championship, and spectators are encouraged to attend. 2016 CHAMPION In the largest comeback since a 36-hole final was introduced in 2001, Stewart Hagestad, 25, of Newport Beach, Calif., rallied from a 4-down deficit with five holes to play to defeat Scott Harvey, 38, of Greensboro, N.C., in 37 holes to win the 2016 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship, held at Stonewall, in Elverson, Pa. At 25 years/5 months/5 days, Hagestad became the second-youngest Mid-Amateur champion behind Nathan Smith (25 years/2 months/10 days) in 2003. On the 37th hole, the 169-yard, par-3 ninth hole on Stonewall’s Old Course, Hagestad and Harvey gave themselves birdie chances with their tee shots. Harvey, the 2014 Mid-Amateur champion, missed to the right from 15 feet. The stage was Hagestad’s, and he made a downhill 14-footer to complete an improbable victory. Hagestad began his comeback with a 13-foot birdie putt on the 32nd hole. He then struck a 7-iron to within 6 feet to set up another winning birdie on the par-3 33rd hole. Hagestad won the 35th hole with an 11-foot birdie putt and squared the match with a conceded birdie on the 36th hole after Harvey hit his approach into a greenside bunker, leading to a bogey. For the first time in a USGA championship, two courses were used in a 36-hole championship match. The final started with 18 holes on the Stonewall’s North Course, while the second 18 was played on Stonewall’s Old Course. USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS IN GEORGIA This will be the 28th USGA championship and third U.S. Mid-Amateur contested in Georgia. The last Mid-Amateur held in the Peach State was in 2004 when Austin Eaton III defeated Josh Dennis, 1 up, to win the championship at Sea Island Golf Club, in St. Simons Island.

While golf courses contribute to communities by provide green space, positive economic impact and recreation for those who play the game, it also is true that golf course irrigation is a necessary component of their management.
