4 The <strong>USGA</strong>The <strong>USGA</strong>The United States Golf Association has served as the national governing body of golf since its formation in 1894.A nonprofit organization, the <strong>USGA</strong> sponsors programs that serve everyone who loves and respects the game of golf. These essentialservices affect all golfers, whether they are amateurs or professionals, public- or private-course players.More than 9,000 private and public courses, clubs and facilities comprise the <strong>USGA</strong>.An Executive Committee of 15 volunteers, the organization’s policy-making board, oversees the Association. Nearly 1,200 volunteersfrom all parts of the country serve on other <strong>USGA</strong> committees. All donate their services and pay most of their own expenses. Aprofessional staff of approximately 350 directs the Association’s day-to-day functions from Golf House, the <strong>USGA</strong>’s headquartersin Far Hills, N.J.In 1975, the Association formed the <strong>USGA</strong> Members Program to help support the game and the <strong>USGA</strong>. Today, more than 700,000golfers around the nation are <strong>USGA</strong> Members.The <strong>USGA</strong> acts in cooperation with national, regional and local golf associations in areas of common interest. The Association alsorepresents the USA in relations with golf associations of other countries.Based on a shared love and respect for golf, we preserve its past, foster its future, and champion its best interests for everyone whoenjoys the game.<strong>USGA</strong> HistoryIn the 1890s, a dispute arose over the question of a national amateur champion. In 1894, St. Andrew’s Golf Club (Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y.) and the Newport (R.I.) Country Club each staged invitational tournaments, and each declared its winner to be thenational amateur champion.The confusion made it clear that an impartial governing body was needed to administer golf, conduct national championships andoversee the codification and interpretation of the game’s rules, as well as the Rules of Amateur Status.The United States Golf Association was the end result of a meeting of delegates from Newport, St. Andrew’s, Shinnecock Hills GolfClub (Southampton, N.Y.), The Country Club (Brookline, Mass.) and the Chicago (Ill.) Golf Club in New York City on Dec. 22, 1894.Theodore A. Havemeyer was elected as the first president.


The <strong>USGA</strong> 5What Does the <strong>USGA</strong> Do?Conducts National ChampionshipsThe <strong>USGA</strong>’s championships began in this country in October1895, with the first playing of the U.S. Amateur. The first U.S.Open was played the next day. Both championships wereplayed at Newport. One month later, the <strong>USGA</strong> conductedthe first U.S. Women’s Amateur at the Meadow Brook Club inHempstead, N.Y.The 13 national championships conducted by the <strong>USGA</strong>are: the U.S. Open Championship; the U.S. Women’s OpenChampionship; the U.S. Senior Open Championship; theU.S. Amateur Championship; the U.S. Women’s AmateurChampionship; the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship; theU.S. Girls’ Junior Championship; the U.S. Amateur PublicLinks Championship; the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public LinksChampionship; the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship; U.S.Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship; the <strong>USGA</strong> SeniorAmateur Championship; and the <strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’sAmateur Championship.In addition, the <strong>USGA</strong> conducts Men’s and Women’s StateTeam Championships, held initially in 1995 to coincide withthe celebration of the <strong>USGA</strong> centennial. These championshipsare held biennially, with the Men’s State Team occurring ineven-numbered years and the Women’s State Team in oddnumberedyears.Since 1922, in cooperation with The Royal and Ancient GolfClub of St. Andrews, Scotland (The R&A), the <strong>USGA</strong> conductsthe Walker Cup Match, a biennial competition betweenteams of amateur golfers, the United States on one side andGreat Britain and Ireland on the other. Similarly, since 1932, the<strong>USGA</strong>, with the British Ladies’ Golf Union, conducts the CurtisCup Match, played between teams of women amateur golfers.The <strong>USGA</strong> conducts both Matches when they are played in thiscountry.The <strong>USGA</strong> along with The R&A conducts the World AmateurTeam Championships on behalf of the International GolfFederation (IGF), formerly known as the World Amateur GolfCouncil. The IGF has conducted the World Amateur TeamChampionship since 1958 and the Women’s World Amateur TeamChampionship since 1964, and is the International Federationfor golf for the International Olympic Committee. Glen Nager,president of the <strong>USGA</strong>, serves as joint chairman of the IGFAdministrative Committee, while Martha Lang, chairman of the<strong>USGA</strong> Women’s Committee, is also a member of the committee.<strong>USGA</strong> Executive Director Mike Davis sits on the IGF Board andthe IGF Olympic Executive Committee.Writes and Interprets the Rules of GolfThe <strong>USGA</strong> and The R&A write and interpret The Rules of Golfto safeguard the tradition and integrity of the game.In May 1951, representatives from governing bodies of golf inGreat Britain, Australia, Canada and the United States met inLondon to develop a worldwide, uniform code of The Rules ofGolf. An agreement between The R&A and the <strong>USGA</strong> providesthat the Rules may be amended only every four years.Regulates and Tests Golf EquipmentThe <strong>USGA</strong> continually tests golf equipment for conformityto the Rules. Without such rigorous equipment testing andresearch programs, advances in technology could overtake skillas the major factor in success. The <strong>USGA</strong> works in cooperationwith The R&A on matters of equipment in order to developworldwide, uniform standards. The <strong>USGA</strong>’s Research and TestCenter, one of the most sophisticated and technically advancedgolf equipment test facilities in the country, is located at itsheadquarters in Far Hills. Tours of the Test Center are availableto Museum visitors.Maintains the Handicap and Course Rating SystemThe <strong>USGA</strong> Handicap System allows golfers of different abilitiesto enjoy competing against one another on relatively equalterms. It is one of the few sports or games that provides thisopportunity.A key element in the success of the <strong>USGA</strong> Handicap Systemis the concept of a “golf club.” This concept requires that ahandicap committee exist to educate and supervise the activitiesof its members and that the members have a reasonableand regular opportunity to play golf with fellow members andreview their scoring records.A part of the <strong>USGA</strong> Handicap System is the <strong>USGA</strong> CourseRating System, including SLOPE®. The <strong>USGA</strong>’s method ofCourse Rating and Slope Rating provides a better assessmentof a golf course’s relative degree of difficulty than mere length.Some of the factors considered in Course and Slope Rating aretopography, rough and recoverability, trees, bunkers and eventhe psychological obstacles a player may encounter on a hole.There are approximately 16,000 courses and 73,000 sets oftees that have a valid <strong>USGA</strong> Course Rating and Slope Rating.The Slope Rating adjusts the strokes a golfer receives whileplaying from any set of tees at any course. A course with ahigher Slope Rating (which means that the spread betweenscores of scratch and non-scratch golfers increases) will resultin a player receiving more strokes; conversely, a player receivesfewer strokes when he plays on a course with a lower SlopeRating, where the spread decreases.The <strong>USGA</strong> Course Rating System is used throughout theUnited States, Mexico, Canada, Europe, parts of Asia andSouth America and its acceptance worldwide grows each year.


6 The <strong>USGA</strong>GHIN (which stands for Golf Handicap and InformationNetwork®) is a service that is available to golf clubs that aremember clubs of associations that contract with the <strong>USGA</strong>for use of this computation service. GHIN comprises 72 golfassociations covering 41 states, Guam, Puerto Rico, Bahamas,Bermuda, the Dominican Republic and India. These associationsinclude more than 12,000 clubs and approximately 2.1million golfers. GHIN services are offered to clubs and coursesexclusively through state or regional golf associations. The golfassociations perform an important job in fostering all aspectsof amateur golf, including helping golfers learn how to use the<strong>USGA</strong> Handicap System. Those activities parallel some keypurposes of the <strong>USGA</strong>.Funds Turfgrass and Environmental ResearchFor many years the <strong>USGA</strong> has been dedicated to improvingthe playing conditions of golf courses in the United States. The<strong>USGA</strong> Green Section was created in 1920 to conduct researchand to collect and distribute information about the propermaintenance and upkeep of golf courses to course officials andgolfers.The <strong>USGA</strong> supports the world’s largest private turfgrassresearch effort. The research grants across the country leadto improved grasses and playing surfaces requiring less waterand maintenance, and better tolerance of disease and pests.Heat-tolerant bentgrasses, drought- and cold-resistant bermudagrassesand salt-tolerant seashore paspalum have beendeveloped through the <strong>USGA</strong> Turfgrass and EnvironmentalResearch Program, and are used today on golf courses to helpreduce water consumption.Since 1983, the <strong>USGA</strong> has funded more than 450 projects atland-grant universities across the country, at a cost of morethan $33 million. Environmental research studies develop managementpractices that protect the environment while providingquality playing conditions. Studies also are geared towardthe development of alternative (non-chemical) methods of pestcontrol, and investigate the influence of golf courses on peopleand wildlife. Since 1991, the <strong>USGA</strong> has championed a cooperativeeffort with Audubon International to promote ecologicallysound land management and conservation of naturalresources on golf courses.Supports Regional Golf AssociationsIn its role as the national governing body of golf, the <strong>USGA</strong>cooperates closely with local, state and regional golf associationson matters of mutual interest and core programs thatbenefit golfers and organizations, such as Course Rating andHandicapping. The <strong>USGA</strong>’s steady growth and steadfast relationshipwith these golf associations has been a positive andsatisfying trend in recent years. Another example of how the<strong>USGA</strong>, golf associations and committee members work closelyis the administration of nearly 700 local and sectional qualifyingsites annually for the <strong>USGA</strong>’s national championships.Maintains a Membership ProgramThe <strong>USGA</strong> Members Program was founded in 1975 for thepurpose of being the direct link between the <strong>USGA</strong> andthe individual golfer. Currently the program has more than700,000 golfers who we are proud to call Members. In addition,the Members Program gives an individual the opportunityto assist the <strong>USGA</strong> in its efforts to preserve and promote thegame. Members receives many benefits, including a The Rulesof Golf book, Members-only U.S. Open Golf Hat, personalizedbag tag and insider access to <strong>USGA</strong> championship news,events and special offers.For information, call (800) 223-0041 or visit https://members.usga.org/join.Ensures Golf’s FutureThe <strong>USGA</strong> is also a global leader in the development and supportof sustainable golf course management practices, serves asa primary steward for the game’s history and funds an ongoing“For the Good of the Game” charitable giving program, whichfocuses on the <strong>USGA</strong>’s national partnerships and relationshipswith state and regional golf associations.The <strong>USGA</strong> Turf Advisory Service (TAS) employs 18 skilledagronomists who make annual visits to nearly 1,500 golf courses.These experts offer recommendations that help improvegolf course maintenance, make it more cost-efficient andpromote more responsible water management by end-usersthrough its TAS where the information gained from scientificresearch is directly applied on golf courses. The departmentalso produces educational webcasts, online meetings andpodcasts, and publishes an online publication, The <strong>USGA</strong>Green Section Record, devoted to turfgrass and golf coursemaintenance issues for golf course superintendents, courseofficials and golfers.

There was no way I was evergoing to make it as a player but now at least my name will be atGolf House forever.“When I got the call I was on the golf course and the windwas blowing so I wasn’t sure what was happening,” addedGrossman. “I was flabbergasted but I hung up the phone andmade a 20-foot putt for par and didn’t make another par thewhole day.”The Joe Dey Award, which has been given since 1996, recognizesan individual’s meritorious service to the game as a volunteer.The award is named for Joseph C.

14 Herbert Warren Wind Book AwardThe 2011 Herbert Warren Wind Book AwardIn recognition of its high standard of achievement in golf literature,“Wonder Girl: The Magnificent Sporting Life of BabeDidrikson Zaharias,” written by Don Van Natta Jr., was namedthe recipient of the United States GolfAssociation’s Herbert Warren WindBook Award for 2011.“Babe Zaharias is among the mostversatile and accomplished Americanathletes of all time; she rose from theTexas heartland to change the face ofgolf and the Olympics, breaking barrierson the playing fields and off,” saidRobert Williams, director of the <strong>USGA</strong>Museum. “Don Van Natta’s book is adeeply compelling account of Babe’sathleticism, courage and invincibilityas she triumphed from the track to thetee and endured cancer to achieve aremarkable comeback victory at the1954 U.S. Women’s Open.”Comprehensively researched andbeautifully written, Don Van Natta’s“Wonder Girl” paints a vibrant portraitof early-20th-century America, while telling the extraordinarystory of a heroic athlete who captured a nation’s heart. Thebrash, athletic and fearless Babe overcame biases of the timeagainst female athletes to excel in golf, basketball, track andfield, baseball, softball, tennis and bowling. She achieved All-American status in basketball and won two gold medals in trackand field at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.As a champion golfer, Babe won 10 major championships,including three U.S. Women’s Open titles, was a foundingmember of the LPGA, and in 1938 became the first woman toplay in a PGA Tour event. At the height of her fame, she wasdiagnosed with cancer, and was told by physicians that shewould never return to competition. Fifteen months after majorsurgery, Babe won the 1954 U.S. Women’s Open by 12 strokes.“There are so many wonderful lessons that can be learned fromBabe’s life and career,” said Van Natta. “She overcame manyobstacles through persistence, perseverance and tremendouscourage, becoming the greatest all-sport athlete in history.Capturing in words a quintessential American life and one of themost inspirational stories in all of sports was such a rewardingexperience.”Van Natta is a senior writer for ESPNthe Magazine and ESPN.com, andspent 16 years as an investigative correspondentat The New York Times.Prior to that, Van Natta worked foreight years at The Miami Herald. Hehas been a member of three PulitzerPrize-winning teams and is the authorof “First Off the Tee: PresidentialHackers, Duffers, and Cheaters fromTaft to Bush” and co-author of “HerWay: The Hopes and Ambitions ofHillary Rodham Clinton,” both ofwhich were New York Times bestsellers.Van Natta lives in Miami with hisfamily.“Winning this award is a huge honorfor me, considering who the award isnamed after and all the past recipients,”added Van Natta. “Golf is such a great sport to cover. Thegame’s drama and emotion really lend themselves to the writtenword. I am humbled by the <strong>USGA</strong>’s recognition.”Van Natta is donating a portion of his royalties from the saleof “Wonder Girl” to the Babe Didrikson Zaharias Foundationin Beaumont, Texas, which Babe and her husband, GeorgeZaharias, established in the last months of her life to supportcancer clinics and treatment centers.The Herbert Warren Wind Book Award was established in1987. The award recognizes and honors outstanding contributionsto golf literature while attempting to broaden the public’sinterest in, and knowledge of, the game of golf. Wind, whodied in 2005, was the famed writer for The New Yorker andSports Illustrated who coined the phrase “Amen Corner” atAugusta National. He is the only writer to win the <strong>USGA</strong>’s BobJones Award, the Association’s highest honor.

16 <strong>USGA</strong> Green Section AwardThe 2012 <strong>USGA</strong> Green Section AwardThe United States Golf Association selected turfgrass scientistDr. Wayne Hanna, of Chula, Ga., as the recipient of the 2012<strong>USGA</strong> Green Section Award for his achievements in developingenvironmentally friendly grasses that have made a tremendousimpact on golf courses around the world.Presented annually since 1961, the Green Section Award recognizesindividuals who have made an outstanding contribution tothe game through their work with turfgrass. The <strong>USGA</strong> GreenSection was created in 1920 to conduct research and to collectand distribute information about the proper maintenance andupkeep of golf courses to member clubs and courses.During his 40-year career, Hanna has produced bermudagrassessuch as TifSport, TifEagle and TifGrand, all of which arehardier and less costly to maintain, while providing excellent fairwayand putting surfaces for the enjoyment of millions of players,including those competing in <strong>USGA</strong> championships.“I’ve gotten a lot of feedback over the years,” said Hanna, “butwhen an honor like this comes from the <strong>USGA</strong> Green Section,it’s the icing on the cake. The <strong>USGA</strong> is the leader in making surethese grasses we develop perform to expectations and beyond.”A native of Texas, Hanna earned multiple degrees, includinga Ph.D. in genetics, from Texas A&M University. He settled inTifton, Ga., in 1971, beginning a long career as a research scientistfor the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the University ofGeorgia.Hanna collaborated with Dr. Glenn Burton, recipient of the 1965<strong>USGA</strong> Green Section Award, and their breakthroughs overthe years are a big reason Tifton is known as the bermudagrasscapital of the world. Hanna’s innovations have provided idealsurfaces for home lawns, public spaces and sports fields, includingmany college football and NFL stadiums.The Plantation Course at The Landings Club, in Savannah, Ga.,was the first course in the country to install TifEagle greens.Thirteen years later, The Landings was the host club of the 2011<strong>USGA</strong> Women’s State Team Championship, and it had TifEagleon all six courses.“TifEagle provides a much higher-quality putting surface on ayear-round basis,” said Mike Perham, the director of golf coursemaintenance at The Landings Club. “It allows us to meet thedemands of the modern golfer.”Designed specifically for greens, TifEagle can trace its origins to aGreen Section meeting in 1983, when <strong>USGA</strong> agronomists madeHanna aware of the need for a high-quality bermudagrass forcourses in the southern United States.“I always felt like we were a team,” said Hanna, 68. “It wasbecause of the <strong>USGA</strong> that I started on TifEagle, and golf peoplehave used it effectively. When you’re watching a golf tournamenton TV and they say that the greens are TifEagle, you get goosebumps.”Hanna’s legacy in golf is secure, but it is hardly complete.Although he retired two years ago, Hanna is still involved inthe University of Georgia’s turfgrass research program and willcontinue to have an impact on future advancements. He built astrong team of scientists that includes protégés such as Dr. BrianSchwartz, who is developing a bermudagrass that can stay greenlonger without water.“For the future, water is one of the most precious naturalresources we have,” said Hanna. “Anything we can do to use lesswater is a big benefit.”The golf industry has been one of the biggest benefactors ofHanna’s turfgrass advances, and the <strong>USGA</strong>’s Green Section staffhas worked closely with him for decades, funding his researchand consulting with him. The best example of the successfulrelationship between Hanna and the <strong>USGA</strong> is the developmentof TifEagle, which was released in 1998 and offered an improvedputting surface for courses in warm climates.

18 Ike Grainger AwardThe 2011 Ike Grainger AwardIn 1995, the centennial year of the United States Golf Association, the Ike Grainger Award was instituted to honor volunteers whohave served the <strong>USGA</strong> for 25 years.Grainger, one of the nation’s leading authorities on the Rules of Golf, was a longtime member of the <strong>USGA</strong> Executive Committeeand served as president in 1954-55. A former president of the Metropolitan Golf Association, Grainger’s contributions to golf weremany. In 1951, he chaired a <strong>USGA</strong> committee that produced the first uniform code of Rules with The Royal & Ancient Golf Clubof St. Andrews, Scotland. He was also chairman of the <strong>USGA</strong> Rules Committee and vice chairman of the Augusta National RulesCommittee.The <strong>USGA</strong> remains indebted to the 1,400 volunteers who serve on <strong>USGA</strong> committees and to the thousands more who assist in conductingthe 13 national championships and team competitions.

With the usual match-play concessions, she wastwo under par for the match.McVeigh, the longest hitter on the GB&I Team, used herpower and superb touch on the greens to take early controlof her match with Song. She went 1 up with an eagle on the457-yard, par-5 fifth hole after hitting a 5-iron to the greenand holing a 20-foot putt. She won the eighth with a 60-footbirdie putt.

Curtis Cup8 Curtis Cup MatchMatch HistoryOfficially named “The Women’s International Cup,” the cupfor the Curtis Cup Match was officially presented in 1932by Harriot and Margaret Curtis, sisters who won the U.S.Women’s Amateur four times between them. The cup, a silverbowl of Paul Revere design, is inscribed “To stimulate friendlyrivalry among the women golfers of many lands.” The cup wasfirst presented in 1927 to give momentum to the proposedcompetition, but play didn’t begin until 1932, largely becauseof financial reasons.As beloved as the Curtis Cup Match is among those who havebattled for it, no other <strong>USGA</strong> competition has had such problemsgetting off the ground.The Match has its origins in an informal match played in 1905.Frances Griscom of Philadelphia, the 1900 U.S. Women’sAmateur champion, suggested that it would be fun for agroup to play in the British Ladies Open Amateur, at Cromer,England. Eight Americans made the trip to play, includingGriscom, Georgianna Bishop, the 1904 Women’s Amateurchampion, and Harriot and Margaret Curtis.An informal match developed between the Americans anda team from Britain. Although the USA was soundly beaten,the exhilaration and goodwill established by their visit alwaysstayed with the competitors, particularly with Margaret andHarriot Curtis.Interest in an international match was revived at a 1924 meetingof the Women’s Eastern Golf Association and became a subjectof discussion among the Association, the British Ladies’ GolfUnion and the French Golf Union over the next five years. In1927, the Curtis sisters gave the idea another push by donatinga cup for an international match. Fanny Osgood of Boston wasappointed to again take up the matter with the LGU.A match was tentatively planned for 1928, but financial obstaclesmade it impossible.In 1928, the <strong>USGA</strong> Women’s Committee appointed a subcommitteeto consider an international match, but the ideawas stymied by the usual lack of funding. In 1930, the greatAmerican amateur Glenna Collett Vare took matters into herown hands and arranged for a group of her countrywomen toplay in Great Britain.In 1931, the LGU agreed to regular matches with the UnitedStates. The <strong>USGA</strong> then decided to finance the American Teamand administer the competition. The Curtis Cup was acceptedthat same year as the official trophy.The series began the following year with the United Statesopposing Great Britain, with a proviso that France might join inwhenever it was able to do so. While it was hoped that manynations would eventually join in the Match, the Curtis Cup hasremained a two-sided competition.The first Curtis Cup Match was played in 1932 at WentworthGolf Club in England. Marion Hollins captained the AmericanTeam, which consisted of Vare, Maureen Orcutt, VirginiaVan Wie, Opal Hill, Helen Hicks, Leona Pressler Cheney andDorothy Higbie. The team representing Great Britain andIreland was made up of Joyce Wethered, the famous Englishchampion who also served as captain, Wanda Morgan, EnidWilson, Molly Gourlay, Doris Park, Diana Fishwick, Elsie Corlettand Mrs. J.B. Watson. The Americans prevailed, 5 1 ⁄2 to 3 1 ⁄2.The 2008 Match at St. Andrews marked a change in format.The Match changed to a three-day format, featuring threefoursomes and three four-ball (better-ball) matches on thefirst two days. On the final day, there are eight singles matches,meaning all eight players from each side compete in singles.The true meaning of the Curtis Cup Match has never beenovershadowed by the results and the Match has always beenregarded as a vehicle of international friendship and understanding.

U.S. Open 7McIlroy Wins the 2011 ChampionshipRory McIlroy shot a 2-under-par 69 in Sunday’s final round onthe Blue Course at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda,Md., for a record-breaking 16-under-par 268 total to claimthe 111th U.S. Open Championship. His score in relation to paris four better than Tiger Woods’ 12-under at Pebble Beach in2000, and his final total eclipsed the previous 72-hole low of272 by four strokes.“There’s a lot of joy, and especially with this victory, there’squite a bit of relief, as well. More joy, though,” McIlroy said.“I knew going out today that I was very comfortable. I knewmost of the field was going to have a hard time to catch up tothe score that I was on. Just very happy to win the U.S. Openand to win it in a bit of style, as well, is always nice.”The magnitude of McIlroy’s wire-to-wire victory overshadowedseveral noteworthy performances behind him. Mostnotable was Australian Jason Day, 23, runner-up in his secondsuccessive major. Day shot nine under on the weekend to finishat 8-under 276, eight strokes behind McIlroy.Tied for third at 6-under 278 were 2009 PGA champion Y.E.Yang (a final-round 71), world No. 2 Lee Westwood (70) andunlikely Americans Robert Garrigus (70) and Kevin Chappell(66), both of whom qualified for the championship.The undeniable story, though, was McIlroy. He began theweek with a bogey-free 6-under 65 and for the week hetotaled only three bogeys and one double bogey. He hit 62of 72 greens in regulation, which is a record for as long as the<strong>USGA</strong> has been tracking such a statistic.Perhaps most important about the win is that McIlroy quellsrepeated references to his final-round Masters collapse –when he shot an 80 – and prompts speculation as to howmany more majors he can win.At 22 years, one month and 15 days, McIlroy is the youngestU.S. Open champion since Bob Jones in 1923 (21 years,three months, 28 days) and the second-youngest player towin a major in the past 80 years. Tiger Woods was 10 monthsyounger when he won the 1997 Masters.“I didn’t have a chance to play with Tiger when he was in hisreal prime, but this guy is the best I’ve ever seen, simple asthat,” said Graeme McDowell, a fellow Northern Irishmanwhose reign as U.S. Open champion ended with a 2-under282. “He’s great for golf. He’s a breath of fresh air for the gameand perhaps we’re ready for golf’s next superstar, and maybeRory is it.”Some observers will use the fact that 22 players finished at orbelow par on a course that never became as penal as <strong>USGA</strong>officials might have hoped. In 2000, Woods won by 15 strokesin windy, foggy conditions at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Linksand the runner-up score was three over par.“[The <strong>USGA</strong>] stuck with their game plan all week, which wasto let us have some fun,” said Davis Love III, the 1997 PGAchampion and 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup captain. “The last three orfour years it seems like the Open has been a lot more fun thanit was at Oakmont (2007) or Winged Foot (2006).”While this is McIlroy’s first major, many of his peers could seethis coming. Westwood pointed out McIlroy’s final-round10-under 62 at the 2010 Wells Fargo Championship on a U.S.Open-like Quail Hollow Club course as an example of hisimmense talent.McIlroy may be the one most surprised by his rapid ascension.“If you had asked me when I turned pro when I was 18, ‘Doyou think you’d win a major by the time you’re 22?’ I wouldhave said no,” he said. “I would have liked to have been anestablished player on the European Tour, maybe a couple ofwins. But to contend in the majors how I have so early, I don’treally know what I can put it down to … if it’s just hard workand practice, or if I feel like I just have a little bit more focus orintensity for major weeks.“I’m surprised that I’ve done it so early. It’s a great thing forme. I can always call myself a major champion now and I cango ahead and focus on trying to get some more.”Open

12 U.S. OpenChampionship HistoryOpenOn Oct. 4, 1895, the first U.S. Open Championship was conductedby the United States Golf Associa tion on the nine-holecourse of Newport (R.I.) Golf and Country Club.The first U.S. Open was considered something of a sideshowto the first U.S. Amateur, which was played on the same courseand during the same week. Both championships had beenscheduled for September but were postponed because of aconflict with a more established Newport sports spectacle, theAmerica’s Cup yacht races.Ten professionals and one amateur started in the 36-holecompetition, which was four trips around the Newport coursein one day. The surprise winner was Horace Rawlins, 21, anEnglish professional who was the assistant at the host course.Rawlins scored 91-82—173 with the gutta-percha ball.Prize money totaled $335, of which Rawlins won the $150 firstprize. He also received a gold medal and custody of the OpenChampionship Trophy for his club for one year.In its first decade, the U.S. Open was conducted for amateursand the largely British wave of immigrant golf professionalscoming to the United States.As American players began to dominate the game, the U.S.Open evolved into an important world golf championship.Young John J. McDermott became the first native-bornAmerican winner in 1911 and repeated as champion in 1912.In 1913, the U.S. Open really took off when Francis Ouimet,a 20-year-old American amateur, stunned the golf world bydefeating the famous English professionals Harry Vardon andTed Ray in a playoff.Another surge in the championship’s popularity coincidedwith the amazing career of Georgia amateur Robert T. JonesJr., who won the U.S. Open four times (1923, 1926, 1929,1930). Spectator tickets were sold for the first time in 1922 anda boom in entries caused the <strong>USGA</strong> to introduce sectionalqualifying in 1924.In 1933, John Goodman became the fifth and last amateurto win the U.S. Open. The others were Ouimet, Jerome D.Travers (1915), Charles Evans Jr. (1916) and Jones.In each era, the world’s greatest players have been identifiedby surviving the rigorous examination provided by theU.S. Open. Ben Hogan’s steely determination boosted him tofour victories (1948, 1950, 1951, 1953). Arnold Palmer’s recordcomeback win in 1960, when he fired a final-round 65 to comefrom seven strokes off the lead, cemented his dashing image.Jack Nicklaus’ historic assault on the professional recordbook began when he won the first of his four U.S. OpenChampionships in 1962, his rookie season as a professional.Nicklaus, who also won in 1967, 1972 and 1980, is one of onlyfour golfers to capture four U.S. Open titles. The others areWillie Anderson (1901, 1903, 1904, 1905), Jones and Hogan.In 1954, the U.S. Open course was roped from tee to greenfor the first time. That year also marked the first national televisioncoverage. Coverage was expanded by ABC Sports in1977 so that all 18 holes of the final two rounds were broadcastlive. In 1982, the first two rounds were broadcast live for thefirst time on ESPN. NBC began televising the U.S. Open in1995.The format of the U.S. Open has changed several times. The<strong>USGA</strong> extended the championship to 72 holes in 1898, with36 holes played on each of two days. In 1926, the format waschanged to 18 holes played each of two days, then 36 holes onthe third day. In 1965, the present format of four 18-hole dailyrounds was implemented for the first time.In 2002, a two-tee (No. 1 and No. 10) start was used for thefirst and second rounds. In addition, Bethpage State Park’sBlack Course in Farmingdale, N.Y., became the first facilityowned by the public to host a U.S. Open. Internationalqualifying sites were added in 2005 and the champion atPinehurst (N.C.) Resort was Michael Campbell, who qualifiedin England.

U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links 5Do Wins the 2011 ChampionshipBrianna Do only led for three holes. Luckily for her, she led theone that counted most.Do, 21, of Vietnam, won the 2011 U.S. Women’s AmateurPublic Links Championship, defeating Marissa Dodd, 17, ofAllen, Texas, 1 up, in the 36-hole championship match, whichwas conducted at the 6,098-yard, par-71 Old Macdonaldlayout at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.In victory, Do became the second UCLA player in three yearsto win the Women’s Amateur Public Links, joining Tiffany Joh,who won the title in 2006 and 2008. Mary Enright, also a formerUCLA player, won the title in 1981.“I don’t really know what it feels like right now,” said an overwhelmedDo, a UCLA senior. “I don’t think it’s hit me. But itfeels good as of right now. I don’t really know how to describeit.”While Do ultimately took the victory, it was Dodd, an incomingfreshman at Wake Forest University, who dominated much ofthe morning round, holding the lead for 10 of the first 11 holes.However, Dodd’s early run was halted when she bogeyed thepar-3 12th to square the match. Another Dodd bogey after atough run-in with a bunker on the par-4 16th gave Do her firstlead of the match.“It was a couple of unlucky kicks,” said Dodd, whose only previousmatch-play experience was a first-round loss at the 2010U.S. Girls’ Junior. “But that’s the way the course works andyou’ve got to come back from them.”And come back she did. Dodd was able to capitalize on consecutiveDo bogeys on 17 and 18 to take a 1-up lead into thelunch break.In the afternoon, Dodd came out on a tear, carding birdies onthree of the first four holes to take a 3-up lead, the largest ofthe final. But the lead evaporated with consecutive bogeys onholes 23-25, squaring the match once again.“I just kind of took my time,” said Do of her mindset in fightingback from the deficit. “I was patient and kind of chipped awayat it.”“I got back to all square, one up, one down,” said Do, whowas born in Lakewood, Calif., but represented her parents’home country at the championship. “The last two holes iswhere it counted. My putting kind of showed up today inthose two holes.“Going to 18 all square was a lot better than going in onedown knowing you have to birdie to keep it going.”What Do coined as a “perfect” drive on the 36th set the tonefor the finish. While Dodd found a fairway bunker, Do’s cleanapproach from the fairway gave her the chance to safely reachthe green in regulation. With her short par putt conceded, Dowatched Dodd fail on her par attempt and give Do the title.“I played and I hit some really good shots after I was 3 down,and I had some really good opportunities,” said Do. “I justtook advantage.”In winning the national title for female public-course golfers,Do was also able to take some consolation for not participatingin UCLA’s NCAA Division I title run the past spring. While sheis a member of the UCLA women’s golf team, she was not partof the five-woman squad that went to College Station, Texas,for the championship.“I am a Bruin, and I’m representing [as] a Bruin this week, butthis is kind of my national championship,” said Do, who addedher name to past Women’s Amateur Public Links championssuch as Candie Kung, Michelle Wie and Yani Tseng.As a relative unknown before this championship, Dodd admittedto exceeding her own expectations with her performance.With her father, Mark, as her caddie and her mother, sister,grandparents and many other family and friends in the galleryafter making a last-minute trip from Texas, Dodd did shed afew tears after missing her final putt.“Happy tears, sad tears,” said Dodd. “It was all really good,though. I had so much fun. I had a blast out here with mydad and everybody who came out here to watch me. I reallyappreciate it all and had a great time.”WAPLDo briefly regained the lead when Dodd bogeyed the par-429th hole. But her own bogey on the ensuing par-3 30thquickly squared the match again.Dodd took the lead back with a well-timed birdie on thepar-4 32nd hole and carried the advantage until the par-535th.

U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links 11Championship HistoryIn April 1977, when entries for the first U.S. Women’s AmateurPublic Links Championship began to trickle in, there was concern.Would the first national championship ever staged for womenwho play the country’s public courses attract enough playersto fill the field? Did it justify the effort to set up 27 qualifyingsites around the country?By May, the trickle of entries had become a steady stream.When the June deadline for entries arrived and the resultswere tallied, the astonishing reality was that this championshiphad attracted a field of 686 players — more than the combinedfields of the 1977 Women’s Amateur, Women’s Open,Senior Women’s Amateur and Girls’ Junior.The entry figure was amazing for several reasons. First, this wasa new championship that would need time to build interest.Second, some states didn’t even have organizations to assistwomen public-course players, conduct sectional qualifyingor raise funds, and the 686 entries were drawn from only 24states.The 1977 championship was played on the East Course ofYahara Hills Golf Course in Madison, Wis. Kelly Fuiks, 19, ofPhoenix, Ariz., was the first champion. In fact, for the first fouryears, the championship was the personal property of twooutstanding players. Fuiks won again in 1978 before turningprofessional. Lori Castillo won in 1979 and 1980, and at onetime held or shared every individual record in the championship.Castillo won 11 consecutive matches before losing in thesecond round in 1981.The championship received a boost when Castillo wasselected as a member of the 1980 USA Curtis Cup Team. Bythat year, the Women’s Amateur Public Links was regardedas a highly competitive arena for some of the best amateurs inthe country. Since then, Heather Farr, Danielle Ammaccapane,Cindy Schreyer, Tracy Kerdyk, Pearl Sinn, Tracy Hanson,Amy Fruhwirth, Jill McGill, Jo Jo Robertson, Annie Thurman(Young), Michelle Wie, Tiffany Joh, Mina Harigae, JenniferSong and Emily Tubert, all WAPL champions, also have beennamed to Curtis Cup Teams.Pearl Sinn accomplished a unique double in 1988 when shewon the Women’s Amateur as well as the Women’s AmateurPublic Links. When she repeated as WAPL champion in 1989,she and Curtis Strange, who won the U.S. Open, were theonly two to repeat as <strong>USGA</strong> champions that year. JenniferSong also won both titles in 2009.McGill also achieved the double win. She was the holder ofthe 1993 U.S. Women’s Amateur title when she won the 1994Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship.In 2003, Wie became the youngest winner of an “adult”<strong>USGA</strong> championship at the age of 13.The championship also was noteworthy because of its teamtrophy, which was captured a record five times by teams fromPhoenix, Ariz., and Murietta, Calif. The team championshipwas discontinued following the 2008 championship.In 2002, the final was played over 36 holes for the first time. In2005, a Handicap Index limit of 18.4 was established.WAPL

U.S. Women’s Open 5Ryu Wins the 2011 ChampionshipIn the end, with all the weather delays, 72 holes wasn’t enoughto complete the 66th U.S. Women’s Open.A three-hole playoff ensued after So Yeon Ryu draineda 5-foot putt on the 18th hole Monday morning at TheBroadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo., to catch Hee KyungSeo, who had been in the clubhouse at 3-under 281 andwaited overnight to see if anyone would catch her.In the first international playoff since the 1988 U.S. SeniorOpen, the two Koreans played the 16th, 17th and 18th holes onthe 7,047-yard, par-71 East Course. It was the first playoff inthe Women’s Open since the three-hole format was adoptedin 2007.Ryu, a junior at Yonsei University in Korea, completed herthree-stroke victory when she converted a 5-foot putt onNo. 18. She clasped her hands and then hugged Seo. Koreanhero Se Ri Pak, the 1998 U.S. Women’s Open champion whospawned a future generation of Korean female golf stars, cameon the green and doused Ryu with champagne.“Unbelievable,” said Ryu, a six-time champion on theKLPGA Tour who finished 25th in the 2010 Women’s Open atOakmont Country Club. “I can’t believe it.”“I did my best, and So Yeon did a great job,” said Seo. “I’d liketo congratulate her.”It was the second time Ryu outlasted Seo in a playoff. In 2009,Ryu won the Orient China Ladies Open after the two sharedthe 54-hole lead.Ryu entered the championship with the goal of finishing in thetop 10. The top 10 scorers and ties are exempt into the followingyear’s championship. With the win, she won’t have toworry about next year; she earned a 10-year exemption.When play commenced Monday, 36 players were still on thecourse following Sunday’s suspension due to darkness. Seohad been one stroke ahead of Ryu, who had three holes toplay, and two ahead of 2007 champion Cristie Kerr, who hadtwo holes to complete. The best Kerr could do was par herfinal two holes. She needed to sink a 15-foot birdie chance onNo. 17, but she yanked it.“I was pretty confident,” said Kerr. “You know, it was a prettytricky read, though. I was a little bit jacked up.”“Actually, I just kept singing in my mind,” said Ryu. “I prayed toGod and then just hit it.”Seo heard the roar while warming up on the range.“I didn’t see it, but I heard sounds of yelling and clapping,”said Seo.Based on statistics this week, Ryu had the advantage of playingthe 16th, 17th and 18th holes. She played the three holes threeunder par as opposed to Seo, who had scored one over. Ryualso had an advantage of having to come back and finish theholes Monday morning. She said it was a key to her victory.On the first playoff hole, both players parred No. 16. Ryu, seventhin greens in regulation, gained the advantage on the nexthole when she knocked a pitching wedge 110 yards to 12 feet.Seo had pulled her drive into a left fairway bunker. The difficultlie ostensibly forced her to play out into the fairway. Her thirdshot wound up in rough, short and right of the green, and shefailed to get up and down for par.Ryu then drained her birdie putt. The long par 5, which measured603 yards, wasn’t kind to Seo for the second day in arow. On Sunday, she missed a 2½-foot putt for par and it ultimatelycost her the title.“I think the one mistake yesterday [was] on 17th green,” saidSeo.On No. 18, Ryu nearly repeated her accomplishment fromregulation play. Her approach shot stopped 5 feet from theflagstick. At that point, it was all academic.“It was lucky for me,” said Ryu, who played on the KoreanWomen’s World Amateur Team that finished 11th in SouthAfrica in 2006.When Ryu was a young girl, she watched Pak win theWomen’s Open in 1998. She was seriously studying the violin,but decided to pick up golf as a hobby. Soon she was hooked.But on Monday, she thanked Pak for carving a path to stardom.“My dream is the hall of fame, but it is just starting,” said Ryu.“It’s unbelievable this situation.”Women’sOpenMeanwhile, Ryu was running out of chances. On the par-517th hole, she looked over a 5-foot birdie attempt left of theflagstick. The putt burned the outer lip of the hole. On thefinal hole, she hit her 6-iron 170 yards to within 5 feet of thehole, setting up the dramatic putt.

10 U.S. Women’s OpenChampionship HistoryWomen’sOpenThe U.S. Women’s Open was added to the <strong>USGA</strong>’s roster ofchampionships in 1953, 58 years after the first U.S. Women’sAmateur. The reason for the <strong>USGA</strong>’s relatively late assumptionof the Women’s Open is simple: women’s professional golf isfairly new. When Opal Hill turned professional in 1938, sheand Helen Hicks were two of the very few women golf professionalsin the world. Unlike the other 12 national championshipsconducted by the <strong>USGA</strong>, the Women’s Open was createdby another organization. In 1946, the short-lived Women’sProfessional Golfers Association introduced the Women’sOpen at match play at the Spokane (Wash.) Country Club. TheSpokane Athletic Round Table, a men’s fraternal organization,contributed the $19,700 purse from its slot machines proceeds.The first Women’s Open was the only one conducted at matchplay. Patty Berg won the 36-hole qualifying medal in 1946, withrounds of 72-73-145, then won the championship by defeatingBetty Jameson, 5 and 4, in the 36-hole final.The small membership of the WPGA ran the championshipfor three years. By 1949, however, women’s professional golfwas making significant strides and the Ladies Professional GolfAssociation was founded. A group of 11 women, includingBerg, Jameson, Louise Suggs and Babe Didrikson Zaharias,established the new association to provide organized tournamentsfor women professionals. The LPGA ran the Women’sOpen for four years, but in 1953 asked the <strong>USGA</strong> to conductthe championship. The first Women’s Open under the <strong>USGA</strong>flag was played at the Country Club of Rochester, in upstateNew York, where Betsy Rawls won the second of her fourWomen’s Open titles (1951, 1953, 1957, 1960).In recent years, the U.S. Women’s Open has truly becomethe world arena of women’s golf. Since 1990, 11 championshipshave been won by foreign-born players, whereas onlythree of the first 41 champions were foreign-born. The emergenceof the Women’s Open as a great international contestcame in 1987, when England’s Laura Davies prevailed in an18-hole playoff against Japan’s Ayako Okamoto and JoAnneGunderson Carner of the United States. Another foreign-bornplayer, Annika Sorenstam, of Sweden, established the 72-holescoring record of 272, 8-under par, at Pine Needles Lodge& Golf Club in 1996. Juli Inkster, an American professional,matched that 72-hole score of 272, also setting a record inrelation to par with 16 under, in 1999.In 1965, the final round of the championship was televisednationally for the first time. The Women’s Open has beentelevised ever since, with all four rounds now broadcast.In 2002, qualifying for the Women’s Open was held in twostages for the first time — 18 holes for local qualifying and 36holes for sectional qualifying. Since 2010, there has been onestage — a 36-hole sectional qualifier.A three-hole aggregate score playoff to immediately follow theend of regulation play was adopted in 2007. It was first used in2011, when Korea’s So Yeon Ryu defeated her countrywomanHee Kyung Seo.Conducted by the <strong>USGA</strong> ever since, the Women’s Open is theoldest championship open to women professionals and amateurs.Rawls and Mickey Wright, the only other four-timewinner (1958, 1959, 1961, 1964) were the championship’s dominantplayers from 1957 through 1964, winning six Women’sOpens between them during those eight years. In 1967,Catherine Lacoste, daughter of French tennis player ReneLacoste and 1927 British Ladies Amateur Champion SimoneThion de la Chaume, became the only amateur to win theWomen’s Open.In its 65-year history, the U.S. Women’s Open has reigned asthe world’s greatest women’s championship, attracting steadilyincreasing numbers of entries and spectators. Whereas only37 contestants played in 1953, in 1976 the field jumped to 205players and sectional qualifying was introduced. In 2001,a record 980 contestants entered. A four-day attendancerecord of 41,200 was set in 1979 at Brooklawn Country Clubin Fairfield, Conn. At the 50th Women’s Open, in 1995, thatrecord was more than doubled at The Broadmoor Golf Club inColorado Springs, Colo.

U.S. Amateur Public Links 5Mills Wins the 2011 ChampionshipCorbin Mills parred the first extra playoff hole to defeatFirst, he drove the green on the downwind 343-yard, par-4Nick Taylor, who was trying to become the first stroke-play medalist to claimDerek the title Ernst since in 2000, 37 holes fell just to short, win the losing 2011 to U.S. Brad Amateur Benjamin Public in the final.Links Championship contested at 7,016-yard, par-71 OldMacdonald at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.Mills, 21, of Easley, S.C., became the first qualifying medalistto win the APL since fellow Clemson Tiger D.J. Trahan claimedthe title in 2000, also in 37 holes at Heron Lakes in Portland,Ore., five hours north of Bandon Dunes. Interestingly, themedalist has gone on to win the championship four out of fivetimes the APL has been held in Oregon.Despite winds that gusted up to 25 miles per hour, Saturday’s36-hole finale featured an abundance of birdies by both players– and very few halved holes. Mills and Ernst combined towin 27 of the 37 holes contested.Trailing for most of the day, Ernst drained a 7-foot par putt tohalve the 36th hole and force extra holes.Playing the par-4 first hole for the third time in Saturday’s36-hole finale, both competitors hit the fairway with theirdrives and knocked their approach shots on the front of thegreen, which featured a back-right hole location.First to putt, Ernst raced his 50-foot birdie attempt 10 feet pastthe hole. After Mills lagged his 30-footer within 4 feet, Ernstput what he thought was a good stroke on his par effort onlyto see it catch the left lip and spin out.“I thought I made it,” said Ernst. “I hit it right where I wantedto and it just didn’t drop.”Mills then stepped up and calmly holed his remaining 4-footerto claim the gold medal and possession of the James D.Standish Trophy.“I had a really good game plan the entire week,” said Mills.“I stuck to it every day, every round, every match, and it keptworking out for me.”Mills birdied the 18th hole of the morning session to take a2-up lead into lunch.He built his lead to 4 up and was seemingly in control of thematch midway through the afternoon round, when Ernstreeled off wins at five consecutive holes to take a 1-up leadwith five to play.“I kept telling myself that I was still in it,” said Ernst, who didnot lead until the 31st hole of the match. “I was down, but I stillbelieved I could pull it off.”ninth, the players’ 27th hole, and two-putted for birdie. AfterErnst won the 10th and 11th with pars when Mills found troubleoff the tee, Ernst nearly aced the 237-yard, par-3 12th, hittinga 5-iron within 6 inches of the hole for a conceded birdie to tiethe match. It would have been his second hole-in-one of theweek, as he aced the par-4 eighth hole at Bandon Trails in hisfirst-round match on Wednesday.On the following hole, with Mills in good position off the tee,Ernst stuck a wedge to 2 feet for a tap-in birdie for his first leadof the day.Mills proved resilient, however, getting up-and-down fromthe fescue on the par-5 15th to square the match. He punctuatedhis 15-foot birdie putt with a fist pump. He credited histurnaround with a change in tempo.“It took me until like 14 to realize, okay, I’ve got to slow thisdown,” said Mills. “This whole week my deal had been [to playquickly]. But I slowed down, regrouped and I made a 4 footerfor par on 14 to halve the hole. Then the big win on 15 reallygot the momentum going.”Ernst won the 16th with par, but found three separate bunkerson the par-5 17th and eventually conceded the hole to Mills,who had hit the green in two, to square the match again.Mills overcame Ernst and five other match-play competitorsto win the title, but he also had to contend with several healthissues – though outsiders might not have known it from hisexceptional play throughout the week.First, Mills developed an ear infection two days before leavingfor Bandon Dunes. Then, he missed his scheduled flight fromSouth Carolina to Oregon. He was able to catch a flight thefollowing day, but developed pink eye, for which he was stilltaking antibiotics.“I haven’t been able to hear out of my left ear the wholeweek,” said Mills. “I don’t know if all this had me in some sortof zone, but whatever it was, [it worked].”Though his parents and many friends from his native SouthCarolina could not attend Saturday’s 36-hole final, Millsreceived an outpouring of support from his fan club.“The past two or three days I’ve had so much support fromback home. All of my friends, all of my family, they’re just sosupportive. I’ve got a million texts and missed calls, everythingright now.”APLAfter making a slight alignment adjustment by opening hisshoulders a bit, Ernst went on a furious charge.

U.S. Amateur Public Links 11Championship HistoryThe U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship has been anunqualified success since its inception in 1922, giving exposureto many public-course players who otherwise might not havean opportunity to compete in a national championship.The championship’s prime mover was James D. Standish Jr.,of Detroit, who convinced his colleagues on the 1922 <strong>USGA</strong>Executive Committee that the time was right for such a grassrootscompetition. Standish pointed to the public-coursegolfer, whose ranks were swelling following World War I, andto the growing number of municipal and daily-fee courses inAmerica.That those earliest championships drew upward of 18 teamsrepresenting cities from coast to coast was a tribute to thespread of public-course golf in America. From the initial entryof 140 players, today’s annual entry has surged to as many as6,000 competitors.The historic invitation to the Masters Tournament for thechampion of the Amateur Public Links began in 1989. RalphHowe III, who won in 1988, was the first Amateur PublicLinks winner to play in the Masters on that invitation. Thanksto the graciousness of Augusta National Golf Club, this invitationhas continued to be issued annually.The first championship was conducted at the Ottawa ParkCourse in Toledo, Ohio. The <strong>USGA</strong> had no way of knowinghow many players to expect, but a satisfying 140 entries werereceived. Less than half that number wore golf shoes. The firstchampion was Eddie Held, of St. Louis, who joined a private clubsoon after his victory and thus became ineligible to defend histitle in 1923.In 1923, the first team championship was conducted at thesame time as the individual competition. East Potomac Parkin Washington, D.C., was selected as the site, causing a greatdeal of excitement in the nation’s capital. President Warren G.Harding, a golf enthusiast, donated the team trophy. Hardingwanted to enter the championship himself, but time didn’tpermit, and besides, he was a member of at least one privateclub, which precluded his entry. The team championship wasdiscontinued following the 2008 championship.The championship has previously attracted bus drivers, bartenders,firemen, waiters, riveters, engineers and collegeprofessors. Not as many participate as in years past, but theopportunity for a field with mixed occupations still exists. Ithas also been a springboard for the likes of U.S. Open championsEd Furgol, Tommy Bolt and Ken Venturi; British Openchampion Tony Lema; PGA champions Dave Marr and BobbyNichols; and Masters winners George Archer and TrevorImmelman. In 1959, it produced the first African-Americanwinner of a <strong>USGA</strong> championship in William A. Wright, wholater became a golf instructor.APL

6 U.S. Senior OpenBrowne Wins the 2011 ChampionshipSeniorOpenDespite a charge from Mark O’Meara, who tied for the leadthree times on Sunday, the story was Olin Browne from startto finish.Browne punctuated his historic week at the 2011 U.S. SeniorOpen at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, with style by droppinga 28-foot birdie putt to shoot an even-par 71 to finish at15-under-par 269. O’Meara matched Browne step-for-stepearly but faded in the end, finishing three strokes behind himat 12-under 272.The crowd around the 18th green erupted when Browne’sputt fell, making him the first wire-to-wire winner of thechampionship since Dale Douglass in 1986 and the secondin its history. Browne’s performance was one for the recordbooks; he set numerous records, including the lowest 54-holetotal in the history of the championship (15-under 198), lowestnine-hole scoring with a 5-under-par 29 on the inward nineon Saturday and the lowest score in the opening round by awinner (64).But Browne, who won three PGA Tour events in his career butno majors, wasn’t concerned with how he got the win.“I don’t think it matters how you win,” said Browne, who wonfor the first time on the Champions Tour and the first time in142 starts. “I don’t think it matters whether you shoot 63 comingfrom the pack. I don’t think it matters if you shoot 75 afterhaving a six-shot lead.”For a championship that was defined by low scores — the 128sub-par rounds smashed the record of 116 set at Crooked StickGolf Club in Carmel, Ind., in 2009 — Sunday’s course set-upwas tougher on the field. Heavy rains preceding the championshipsoftened the course and made the hole locations moreaccessible, but by Sunday they began to regain their firmness.“You didn’t see quite as low of scoring today because it isSunday,” said runner-up O’Meara. “The pins are a littletougher, the nerves are a little bit more there. There is pressure,even though there’s pressure to me every day I play.”Early in the final round it looked as if O’Meara might take thelead over Browne. Birdies at the opening hole, a 398-yardpar 4, and the 514-yard, par-5 fourth hole brought him to15-under and a share of the lead with Browne. He again tiedfor the lead when Browne bogeyed the 565-yard eighth hole,but O’Meara could never take the outright lead.The momentum clearly shifted in Browne’s direction whenO’Meara’s 12-foot birdie putts on 10 and 11 didn’t drop.those. Olin drove the ball well coming home. He put it in thefairway. He hit the greens. That’s what you’ve got to do in a<strong>USGA</strong> event to win.”O’Meara’s chances evaporated when he bogeyed the 461-yard, par-4 13th and the 488-yard, par-4 16th.The tough stretch of finishing holes featured six of the eighttoughest scoring holes for the week, including the 14th (mostdifficult), 13th (second) and 16th (third). Browne navigated thestretch in a masterful 8-under par for the week.“I knew if I was in the lead or somewhere near the lead on theback nine that there was going to be all kinds of stuff happening,”Browne said. “It’s just too hard a nine holes of golf. I justdid the very best that I could. I hit as many functional shots tostay in it, not lose my patience and not start doing stupid stuff.”And hit functional shots he did, as Browne worked his waypatiently through the back nine, capping off his performancewith his long birdie putt on the 18th.Throughout the day, the closest any player came to O’Mearaand Browne was Mark Calcavecchia, who began the finalround six strokes behind Browne. He pulled within two strokesof the lead when he holed a 100-foot putt for birdie on thepar-3 12th, but couldn’t sustain his momentum. Calcavecchia,who finished as the runner-up at the Senior British Open theweek prior, bogeyed the 13th on his way to a third-place finish.“The way I felt today, it was kind of a miracle, so I’m, happywith that,” Calcavecchia said. “Just didn’t feel too good today.Got a little shaky with my putter, although I didn’t miss any realshort ones. I dead yanked that par putt on 14 and didn’t hit agood putt on the last hole.”Another story was Hale Irwin, whose closing 68 was goodenough for a fourth-place finish, giving him the most top-fivefinishes in the history of the Senior Open with eight, one betterthan Jack Nicklaus’ mark of seven.From his opening round 64 to his 28-foot birdie putt on thelast hole, the 2011 U.S. Senior Open was ‘The Olin BrowneShow.’ For a player who has been so close to winning the U.S.Open, finally capturing a major championship was rewarding.“I had a couple of shots at Congressional (in 1997) and atPinehurst (in 2005),” said Browne, “and I butchered Pinehurston Sunday, played with Michael Campbell and watched himwin. This is very satisfying for me.”“I didn’t really putt as well today,” said O’Meara. “I reallyneeded to make the putts on 10 and 11, and I didn’t make

10 U.S. Senior OpenChampionship HistorySeniorOpenThe first U.S. Senior Open Championship was played June26-29, 1980, on the East Course of Winged Foot Golf Club inMamaro neck, N.Y.Established as a result of the remarkable growth in senior golf,both at the professional and amateur levels, the championshipattracted 631 entries.The inaugural Senior Open was conducted for golfers 55 andolder, with a handicap limit of eight strokes for amateurs.The field included former U.S. Open champions LewWorsham, Julius Boros, Ed Furgol, Jack Fleck and Tommy Bolt.Former U.S. Amateur champion William C. Campbell was alsoa competitor.Roberto De Vicenzo, a national hero in his native Argentina,won with a one-over-par 285, four strokes ahead of runnerupCampbell.In 1981, the <strong>USGA</strong> lowered the age minimum to 50 to make thechampionship more competitive. The <strong>USGA</strong> also believed thatlowering the minimum age would place the Senior Open in themainstream of other senior competitions.The second Senior Open was won by another nationalhero, Arnold Palmer, 51, at Oakland Hills Country Club inBirmingham, Mich. Palmer won in an 18-hole playoff with BobStone and Billy Casper. With his victory, Palmer joined JoAnneCarner as the only players to win three different <strong>USGA</strong> championships(Jack Nicklaus, Carol Semple Thompson and TigerWoods have since accomplished this feat).In 1982, at the Portland (Ore.) Golf Club, Miller Barber won thefirst of his three Senior Open titles. Barber shot a final-round65 and set the 72-hole scoring record of 282. He also won the1984 and 1985 championships.Dale Douglass broke Barber’s record in 1986 with a 72-holescore of 279. In 1987, Gary Player lowered Douglass’s recordby a remarkable nine strokes when he shot a 72-hole score of270 at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield, Conn., to win. Hewas the only player to shoot four rounds in the 60s until TomWeiskopf turned the trick in 1995.Weiskopf shot 69-69-69-68—275 on the Blue Course ofCongressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., to win.U.S. Open champions have performed extremely well in theU.S. Senior Open, winning 10 of the 30 championships. U.S.Open champions who have also won the Senior Open are:Arnold Palmer (1960 U.S. Open; 1981 Senior Open), BillyCasper (1959, 1966 U.S. Open; 1983 Senior Open), Gary Player(1965 U.S. Open; 1987, 1988 Senior Open), Orville Moody(1969 U.S. Open; 1989 Senior Open), Lee Trevino (1968, 1971U.S. Open; 1990 Senior Open), Jack Nicklaus (1962, 1967, 1972,1980 U.S. Open; 1991, 1993 Senior Open) and Hale Irwin(1974, 1979, 1990 U.S. Open; 1998, 2000 Senior Open).The growth of senior golf has meant steadily increasing fieldsfor the U.S. Senior Open. In 2002, a record 3,101 entries wereaccepted by the <strong>USGA</strong>.The final two rounds of the U.S. Senior Open were broadcastlive on national television beginning with the championship’s1980 inaugural. It has been telecast nationally ever since.Don Pooley and Tom Watson staged the first three- or fourholeplayoff in 2002. The format was installed in 1999. Pooleywon with a birdie on the fifth hole.

U.S. Girls’ Junior5Jutanugarn Wins the 2011 ChampionshipAriya Jutanugarn, 15, of Thailand, defeated Dottie Ardina, 17,of the Philippines, 2 and 1, to win the 2011 U.S. Girls’ JuniorChampionship, conducted on the 6,403-yard, par-72 SouthCourse at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club.Jutanugarn captured her first <strong>USGA</strong> championship, becomingonly the 16th stroke-play medalist in the 63-year history of thechampionship to take the victory. She also became the thirdplayer from Thailand to win a <strong>USGA</strong> title.“I’m so proud because it’s my first win in match play,” saidJutanugarn, who had not advanced past the third round at a<strong>USGA</strong> championship conducted at match play since her firstchampionship appearance at the 2009 U.S. Girls’ Junior.Jutanugarn opened with a bang, birdieing the par-4 first holeto take an immediate 1-up lead. She was able to hold the leaduntil the sixth hole, where her second shot rolled down a steephill to the left of the green. Two unsuccessful attempts to reachthe green squared the match.Ardina and Jutanugarn swapped pars for the next 11 holesto remain all square, but Jutanugarn’s bogey on the par-417th gave Ardina a 1-up lead that she carried into the breakbetween rounds.Jutanugarn used the one-hour break to reflect on her first 18holes and the flaws she found in her game, particularly in herputting.“I think in the morning, I played not so good because I misseda lot of putts. They were all short all the time,” said Jutanugarn,who competed in the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open and won the2011 Rolex Girls Junior Championship.Ardina also pointed to her putting as her weakness during themorning round.“The key to the match was birdies and pars,” said Ardina, whohas represented the Philippines twice at the Women’s WorldAmateur Team Championship. “I just kept making threeputts.”The break ultimately went to Jutanugarn’s favor, as she immediatelybirdied the 19th hole to square the match. The seesawbattle continued from there, with Ardina never lettingJutanugarn extend her lead past a single hole.Finally, at the par-4 31st hole, she got the break that sheneeded. When Ardina hit her approach 10 feet right of thehole, Jutanugarn stepped up and dropped her approach shotwithin 2 feet. Ardina’s missed birdie putt was Jutanugarn’smoment to capitalize, and a birdie gave her the first 2-up leadof the match.Despite losing the 33rd hole to Ardina to narrow the margin to1 up, Jutanugarn’s success on the 31st hole gave her the confidenceshe needed to go for the win.“I just think like if I can make this one, and I want to make birdieand make one, I’m going to be dormie,” said Jutanugarn. “ButI make it and next hole I miss it, so I feel like, ‘OK, 17, I’m goingto make.’”And make it she did. Ardina’s long putt on No. 35, a par 4,blew 3 feet past the hole, and her short comebacker burnedthe edge. Jutanugarn’s 4-foot par putt clinched the two-holevictory.The entire Jutanugarn family was a familiar sight around theOFCC grounds. Jutanugarn’s sister, Moriya, was forced towithdraw from the championship with a wrist injury and ultimatelyserved as her sister’s trusted adviser and caddie. Herparents, Somboon and Narumon, always quietly walked thesidelines, cheering on their daughter.“I feel like I’m so happy,” said Jutanugarn, who spends fivemonths per year traveling the United States with her family,spending week upon week in hotel rooms. “I really want tothank my dad and my mom who are with me all the time, everyyear, and thank you to my sister for being the caddie for methis week.“[Moriya is] so nice, and she tells me if she played this tournament,she’s going to beat me.”As for Ardina, her morning troubles with her putter never wentaway, though she did hit 34 of 35 fairways off the tee and allbut three greens. She was able to walk away from the disappointmentwith a measure of satisfaction.“It’s OK, I’m OK,” said Ardina. “I’m disappointed because myputting dropped me down.”Girls’ Junior

U.S. Girls’ Junior11Championship HistoryThe U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship was established in1949, one year after the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.Philadelphia (Pa.) Country Club, one of the oldest golf coursesin the nation, was the host club for the <strong>USGA</strong>’s newestchampionship. The club’s Bala Course was constructed in 1891,three years before the birth of the <strong>USGA</strong>.The inaugural Girls’ Junior drew a starting field of 28 girls from17 states, although 10 of the players were from the Philadelphiaarea.More impressive than the size of the field or the styles of playwas the wonderful spirit and sportsmanship the contestantsbrought to the game, and their complete lack of pretense.The first champion, 15-year-old Marlene Bauer, came allthe way from Los Angeles to win her first national golf title.While golf for girls beyond the club level was still a novelty,Bauer had been encouraged by her father, a golf professional,since the age of 3. Her victory in the first Girls’ Junior was thespringboard for a long and distinguished career.The championship has also helped launch the careers of suchoutstanding players as Mickey Wright, who won in 1952 andlater captured four U.S. Women’s Open Championships, andJoAnne Gunderson Carner, who won the first of her eight<strong>USGA</strong> titles in the 1956 Girls’ Junior. Nancy Lopez won in 1972and 1974, interrupted in 1973 by Amy Alcott, who went on towin the Women’s Open in 1980.made it easy. The final matches of her first two championshipswent 18 holes. In her last victory, in 1971, Stacy needed4-under-par golf to eventually defeat Alcott at the 19th hole.From the third through the 17th holes, neither player made abogey; between them they made nine birdies. The match isregarded as one of the finest in <strong>USGA</strong> history.With her last victory, Stacy became only the seventh golfer towin <strong>USGA</strong> championships in three successive years. She laterwon the Women’s Open Championship in 1977, 1978 and1984.Kay Cornelius, the 1981 winner, is among the noteworthychampions. Her mother, Kathy Cornelius, won the 1956 U.S.Women’s Open. They remain the only mother-daughter tandemto have captured <strong>USGA</strong> championships.While victory in the U.S. Girls’ Junior by no means guaranteesa successful career in women’s golf, Girls’ Junior championshave won the Women’s Amateur 11 times and the Women’sOpen 11 times.Furthermore, 18 Girls’ Junior champions have gone on to representthe USA on the Curtis Cup Team through 2011.Considering the brevity and time limitations on a junior golfcareer, Hollis Stacy’s record of three consecutive Girls’ JuniorChampionships, from 1969 to 1971, is among the most remarkableaccomplishments in <strong>USGA</strong> history. Stacy, however, neverGirls’ Junior

U.S. Junior Amateur5Spieth Wins the 2011 ChampionshipJordan Spieth, 17, of Dallas, Texas, earned a 6-and-5 victoryover Chelso Barrett, 16, of Keene, N.H., to win the 2011 U.S.Junior Amateur at the par-72, 7,111-yard Olympic Course atGold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton, Wash.Spieth, who also won the 2009 U.S. Junior Amateur, becamejust the second golfer in the 64-year history of the championshipto claim more than one title. Tiger Woods won three consecutiveJunior Amateur titles from 1991 to 1993.“Any time you can be compared to any of Tiger’s golf accomplishments,it’s very special,” said Spieth. “You know, he wonit three years in a row. I’m glad to have gotten two of them,so now I can’t play in this one anymore, I’m going to go afterthe Amateurs that he won. But as of the present moment, I’mvery happy to have won this coming in as a past champion andbeing able to make it through again.”But it wasn’t easy, particularly at the start. Barrett took an early2-up lead in the scheduled 36-hole when Spieth bogeyed thefirst two holes.“Two up through two is awesome but there’s 36 holes to play,”said Barrett, who was playing in his second Junior Amateur. “Itwas a good start, but I knew I would have to continue and Ididn’t.”Spieth got one hole back when Barrett double bogeyed thepar-4 third hole and squared the match when he made a10-footer for birdie on the par-5 sixth hole. Spieth wouldnot trail again. He took the lead for good with a concededbirdie on No. 13 when Barrett was unable to get up and downfrom a greenside bunker. Another bogey by Barrett on No. 15increased Spieth’s lead to 2 up.At the 461-yard, par-4 17th hole, it looked like Barrett mightget one back when Spieth hit his tee shot into the deep roughleft of the fairway and Barrett drove in the middle of the fairway.But Barrett hit his approach shot short and right of thegreen and his 7-foot par raced putt 5 feet past the hole. Hisbogey putt lipped out and Spieth made his bogey putt to takea 3-up lead.“It was a funny lie,” said Barrett of his approach shot on No. 17.“It wasn’t bad enough to where I hit the shot that I hit. I thinnedit and came out of it. I hit a god-awful chip and a bad threeputt.I knew I had to be aggressive with it because I was bankingon him making his 8-footer.”On the par-4 18th, both players chose to drive the green.Barrett, whose tee shot found the rough just next to a frontgreenside bunker, hit a beautiful shot to 2 feet, which was concededfor birdie. Spieth hit his tee shot into a greenside bunkerand he blasted out to 4 feet, which he made for birdie.“That was a very important hole to get a birdie on, especiallyafter 17 turned out the way it did,” said Spieth. “I was 2 upgoing to 17, thought it was going to be 1 up going to 18, and itended up being 3. Big turnaround going into lunch.”After the break, Spieth lost No. 1 for the second time in thematch but made a 16-footer for birdie one hole later to againbuild his lead to 3 up. Barrett would not get closer again. Hebogeyed the 23rd hole to go 4 down and another bogey twoholes later pushed the deficit to 5 down.“You have to make a lot of birdies to actually gain momentumagainst Jordan because he’s such a good player,” said Barrett,who lost to Spieth, 7 and 5, in the first round at the 2010 JuniorAmateur. “Against other players, you can make birdie-birdieparand maybe win three out of four holes, where if you wantto win three out of four against him, you’ve got to birdie threeholes.”For Spieth, who was upset in the second round at the JuniorAmateur a year ago, regaining the trophy was particularlysweet. It was his last junior event – he turned 18 the followingweek and started college at the University of Texas a few weekslater.“I’m just very, very pleased that I came out on top here with theexpectations and everything going in,” he said. “I was preparingfor it the whole year, and it’s nice to be able to execute.”JuniorAmateur

U.S. Junior Amateur11In 1948, the <strong>USGA</strong> inaugurated the U.S. Junior AmateurChampion ship to determine the best junior golfer in theUnited States and also to help junior golfers learn how to realizethe most from the game, win or lose.The Junior Amateur was hardly the first junior competition toattract a national field. The Western Junior had been establishedin 1914. In 1946, two more competitions appeared, eachwith a claim on the national title. One was sponsored by theU.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce, the other by the HearstNewspapers.The first U.S. Junior Amateur was played at the University ofMichigan Golf Course and drew 495 entries. The starting fieldof 128 players was determined by sectional qualifying roundsat 41 sites. Dean Lind of Rockford, Ill., was the first champion.Lind defeated Ken Venturi of San Francisco, a future U.S.Open champion, in the final.By 1963, entries had surged to 2,230, a record for the 13thconsecutive year. At the time, there was no handicap limitationfor entrants. That changed in 1964 when a handicap limit of 10strokes was introduced. In 1999, the championship attracted arecord 4,508 entries. Qualifying was conducted at 61 sites.In 1978, the <strong>USGA</strong> conducted the Junior Amateur over theSouth Course of the Wilmington (Del.) Country Club, whilethe Girls’ Junior was being staged on the North Course. Thiswas the first time the <strong>USGA</strong> conducted two national championshipssimultaneously at the same golf club.The Junior Amateur is among the most difficult of all <strong>USGA</strong>championships to win because of two factors: the age limitand the tremendous number of fine young players who entereach year. Only one player, Tiger Woods, has won the JuniorAmateur three times, winning in 1991, 1992 and 1993. JordanSpieth, who first won in 2009, became the second player toclaim more than one title when he won the 2011 championship.Only six players have reached the final twice.Woods, who was 15 years, six months and 28 days old whenhe won in 1991, was the youngest champion until 2010. At 14years, 11 months and 15 days, Jim Liu broke Woods’ record bymore than six months with his victory.The Junior Amateur has another, more dubious, distinction. It isthe only <strong>USGA</strong> championship for which Jack Nicklaus has beeneligible that he did not win at least once. Nicklaus qualified forthe championship five times; however, his best finish came in1956, when he was a semifinalist.The Junior Amateur remains today an educational opportunityas well as a competitive outlet. Pre-championship players’dinners have attracted guest speakers such as Francis Ouimet,Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller and Annika Sorenstam, all willingto share their knowledge and experience with young players.JuniorAmateur

U.S. Women’s Amateur 5Kang Wins the 2011 ChampionshipDefending champion Danielle Kang, 18, of Westlake Village,Calif., won her second consecutive U.S. Women’s AmateurChampionship, defeating Moriya Jutanugarn, 17, of Thailand,6 and 5, at the 6,399-yard, par-71 Rhode Island Country Clubin Barrington, R.I.“I feel great,” said Kang, who had 11 birdies – three of whichwere conceded – against one bogey in 31 holes. “I played thebest round I’ve played at a major championship. I played welllast year, but not this well.”The golf in the championship match was remarkable. Therewere 16 birdies combined and birdies won five of the first sixholes, despite rain showers and winds that gusted to 15 mph.Jutanugarn, the low amateur at the 2011 U.S. Women’s Open,birdied the first hole with an 8-foot putt to take a 1-up lead.Her 15-year-old sister and caddie, Ariya, had won the U.S.Girls’ Junior two weeks prior. They were trying to become thefirst family members in history to claim two <strong>USGA</strong> titles in thesame year.But the day belonged to Kang. Starting at the third hole, shereeled off three consecutive birdies. The stretch was markedby sharp iron play resulting in putts of 18 inches, 4 feet and 5feet. Kang was 2 up after five holes.The sixth, shortened to 220 yards for the championship match,was a drivable par 4 and Jutanugarn drove into a greensidebunker. After blasting out to within 10 feet of the hole, shemade the birdie putt, cutting Kang’s lead to 1 up.Her success was short-lived. On the eighth, a 481-yard par5, Kang hit the green with a 3-wood second shot and was 20feet from the hole. Jutanugarn’s second shot found a waterhazard. After Kang lagged her eagle putt to within 1 foot,Jutanugarn conceded the birdie and Kang was 2 up. WhenKang went 3 up at the ninth, it was the first time in the matchthat par won a hole.Kang was a relentless opponent. Beginning on the 11th hole,she made three consecutive birdies for the second time. Thefirst came on a 15-foot putt and she went 4 up. At the 12th, shehit her approach shot to within 2 feet for another birdie and a5-up lead. Kang made her seventh birdie of the day with an11-foot putt at the 13th hole.“I played okay, but she made a lot of birdies,” said Jutanugarn.Kang was 6 up and with the usual match-play concessions,seven under par after 13 holes. “My dad, (K.S. Kang, her caddie)told me I was seven under at one point and I wanted toget to 10 under,” said the champion. “I know Moriya is a greatplayer and I knew pars weren’t going to win holes.”It was Kang’s biggest lead of the match but her opponent heldon. At the 14th, Jutanugarn hit her approach shot to withina foot of the hole, which was immediately conceded. WhenKang’s 12-footer for birdie slid by, the lead was down to 5 up.At the 15th tee, the players faced the full force of gusty windsoff Narragansett Bay. Kang’s second shot sailed into a greensidebunker. Jutanugarn drilled her approach shot through thewind and her ball bit and skidded to a stop just 10 feet fromthe hole. Kang’s bunker shot was 18 feet past the hole and shemissed the putt to make her first and only bogey. Jutanugarnwon the hole with a par, leaving Kang four holes in front.Jutanugarn was tenacious, making nice up-and-downs froma bunker on the 16th and from greenside rough on the 17thto save pars. The holes were halved and Kang remained 4 up,which is where it stayed into the lunch break.With match-play concessions, Jutanugarn’s scorecard showeda 2-under-par score of 69 and Kang a 6-under-par 65.After the lunch break, Kang continued her fireworks, holing a12-foot uphill birdie putt on the 19th to go 5 up.In the damp wind, both players took a lot of time studying thetricky slopes of the Donald Ross-designed greens. Neitherhad a three-putt green.Jutanugarn rallied over the next three holes. She won herfirst hole of the afternoon at the 21st with a 16-foot birdieputt. Both parred the 22nd hole, Jutanugarn nearly holing a40-foot pitch. At the par-3 23rd, Jutanugarn made a deuce,her second birdie in three holes, and Kang’s lead was cut to 3up.Kang surged back on the 220-yard, par-4 24th hole. Shenearly drove the green with a 3-wood and landed in greensiderough. Just as she had in the morning, Jutanugarn droveinto a greenside bunker and her recovery shot burned thehole, ending 5 feet away. She barely missed the birdie putt.From just over 2 feet, Kang made her ninth birdie of the matchand went 4 up.They halved the next three holes with pars. At the 193-yard, par-3 28th, Kang hit a soaring fairway metal to 4 feet.Jutanugarn’s shot landed in heavy grass in the slope of a bunker.From an awkward stance, Jutanugarn chipped weakly andconceded Kang’s birdie putt. Kang was 5 up.With eight holes remaining, Jutanugarn needed to chip awayat Kang’s lead. But Kang won the 29th hole with anotherbirdie, her 11th of the match, to again go 6 up.The 30th hole was halved with pars. Kang was dormie-6 andthe match was near its end. Kang and Jutanagarn halved the31st with pars and Kang won the match and her second consecutiveU.S. Women’s Amateur title.Women’sAmateur

U.S. Women’s Amateur 11Championship HistoryThe U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship marks the beginningof women’s competitive golf in this country. Along withthe U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Open, the Women’s Amateurwas one of the <strong>USGA</strong>’s first three championships.The first Women’s Amateur Championship was arranged onemonth after the 1895 Amateur and Open Championships.The following small item appeared in the social column of aNew York newspaper shortly after the completion of play:“Thirteen ladies played 18 holes of golf at the Meadow BrookClub, in Hempstead, recently. Mrs. Charles S. Brown, whosehusband plays at the Shinnecock Hills Club, in Southampton,L.I., made the best score and thus won the United Stateschampionship for lady golfers.”Very few early golf clubs encouraged women to play. Therewere exceptions, of course, most notably Shinnecock Hills,whose private property the Women’s Amateur title wouldbecome for the first four years. When Lucy Barnes Brownelected not to defend in 1896, Shinnecock came up with areplacement in Beatrix Hoyt, who would become its bestknownplayer. Hoyt, the granddaughter of Supreme CourtChief Justice Salmon P. Chase, won the next three championships.Although a stroke-play format was selected for the first championship,the Women’s Amateur became a matchplaycompetition in 1896 and has remained so since.The most noteworthy champion is Glenna Collett Vare, a lifelongamateur who won the Cox Trophy a record six times. Inthe 1920s and 1930s, Vare was the darling of the sports world,much as Bob Jones was during that era.Second only to Vare is JoAnne Gunderson Carner, whowon five Women’s Amateur Championships. Combined withher two wins in the U.S. Women’s Open and a single win inthe U.S. Girls’ Junior, Carner’s record of eight <strong>USGA</strong> titles iseclipsed only by Jones and Tiger Woods, who have each wonnine.Women’s Amateur champions seem to have a remarkablefacility to repeat. Hoyt, Alexa Stirling, Vare, Virginia Van Wieand Juli Simpson Inkster have all won the Women’s Amateurthree times consecutively. A noteworthy seven champions —Genevieve Hecker, Dorothy Campbell, Margaret Curtis, BettyJameson, Kay Cockerill, Kelli Kuehne and Danielle Kang —have won twice in succession.The Women’s Amateur has long identified some of golf’sgreatest women players, many of whom have gone on to successfulprofessional careers. Along with the champions listedabove, Patty Berg, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Louise Suggs,Marlene Stewart Streit, Anne Quast Sander, Barbara McIntire,Catherine Lacoste, Carol Semple Thompson and Beth Danielhave all secured a place in women’s golf history.Women’sAmateur

U.S. Amateur 5AmateurKraft Wins the 2011 ChampionshipKelly Kraft, 22, of Denton, Texas, defeated Patrick Cantlay,19, of Los Alamitos, Calif., 2 up, to win the 2011 U.S. AmateurChampionship at 7,760-yard, par-72 Erin Hills.“It’s awesome. It’s just great,” said Kraft, a three-timeConference USA Player of the Year while at Southern MethodistUniversity. “It’s such an honor to win this championship. I meanthere’s none other better than this one.”In victory, Kraft received exemptions into the 2012 U.S. OpenChampionship and British Open Championship, as well as alikely invitation to the 2012 Masters Tournament. He was alsonamed to the 2011 USA Walker Cup Team, which departed afew days later for Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in Scotland.“(USA Team Captain Jim Holtgrieve) walked up to me on thegreen and told me, ‘See ya in Scotland.’ And I was like, ‘Wow.’I didn’t know what to say,” said an obviously elated Kraft, theHavemeyer Trophy sitting at his side. “I just won the tournamentand then they told me this. I about had a heart attack.”Kraft also joined Hank Kuehne (1998) and Colt Knost (2007) asSMU Mustangs to win the Amateur title.It was Cantlay, a UCLA sophomore who held the top spotin the World Amateur Ranking, who drew first blood in thematch, making a birdie on the opening hole. However, Kraftwas not intimidated by his opponent. Three birdies in a nineholestretch gave him a 4-up advantage by the 16th hole.Not to be outdone, Cantlay began to rally when he converteda 60-foot putt for birdie on No. 17. He then won No. 18 with abogey when Kraft hit two bunkers on his approach shots, givingKraft a 2-up lead going into the lunch break.“It’s hard to get up that much on the No. 1 amateur in theworld,” said Kraft. “I was happy being 2 up. Even losing the lasttwo holes the morning round, I was still happy being 2 up. Ifyou would have told me that before we started, I would havetaken it.”“Obviously I had a positive frame of mind going into 17, 18,just based on my play earlier this week,” said Cantlay, who hadmade comebacks on those holes in his earlier matches withRussell Henley and Max Buckley.Cantlay’s momentum continued after the break. He pulledwithin one hole when his approach shot to the par-4 22nd hitthe flagstick and gave him a 6-foot birdie putt. Kraft’s bogeyon the par-3 24th then squared the match.Another Kraft bogey on the par-4 28th hole handed Cantlayhis first lead since the third hole of the morning round. Butback-to-back Cantlay bogeys at Nos. 33 and 34 gave the leadback to Kraft.After a missed par attempt on the 36th green, Cantlay took offhis cap and conceded the victory to Kraft.“I kind of figured if he missed that, then he would concede thehole,” said Kraft. “I’ll take whatever way it comes.”Kraft came into the championship slightly under the radar,despite 2011 victories at the Trans-Mississippi Championshipand Texas State Amateur. Not highly recruited out of highschool, he completed his four years of athletic eligibility at SMUafter the 2010-2011 season. With plans to complete his sociologydegree, Kraft was still entertaining thoughts of enteringPGA Tour Q-School in 2011 until taking the Amateur title.“I’m going to have to see how long I can stay amateur forbecause I don’t get (the championships) if I turn pro,” said Kraftwith a smile. “But I mean that’s just great. I tried not to thinkabout it too much yesterday. You know, I just tried to finishtoday. And now I can think about it all for a while.”On the other hand, Cantlay had one of the more heraldedamateur summers in recent memory. He garnered low-amateurhonors at the U.S. Open and finished in the top-25 at threeother PGA Tour events, carding an amateur-record-low 60at the Travelers Championship. While he was certainly disappointedwith his Amateur outcome, he was able to find a modicumof solace in his week at Erin Hills.“I went 5 and 1 this week,” said Cantlay. “I think that’s not toobad. Going into the Walker Cup, I feel confident about mygame and feel really good about the team we have.”

Amateur12 U.S. AmateurChampionship HistoryThe U.S. Amateur Champion ship was born in 1895 becauseof a controversy. In 1894, two clubs — Newport (R.I.) GolfClub and New York’s St. Andrew’s Golf Club — had conductedinvitational tournaments to attract the nation’s top amateurplayers.Newport’s stroke play tournament was won by club memberW.G. Lawrence, who triumphed over a field of 20 competitors.The match-play competition at St. Andrews attracted 27golfers and was won by Laurence Stoddart of the host club.Both clubs proclaimed their winners as the national champion.Clearly, golf needed a national governing body to conductnational championships, develop a single set of rules for allgolfers to follow and promote the best interests of the game.With that, representatives from five clubs founded the <strong>USGA</strong>on Dec. 22, 1894.As a result, in 1895, its first full year of operation, the<strong>USGA</strong> conducted Amateur, Open and Women’s AmateurChampion ships. The Amateur and Open Championships wereconducted at Newport Golf Club during the same week ofOctober and Charles B. Macdonald became the first U.S.Amateur champion.The Amateur Championship is the oldest golf championship inthis country — one day older than the U.S. Open. Except foran eight-year period from 1965-1972, when it was stroke play,the Amateur has been a match-play championship.Over the years, as interest in the game grew and the numberof quality players increased, it became necessary to establish anational handicapping system to determine who was eligible tocompete in the Amateur. The <strong>USGA</strong>’s first national handicap list,which was published for the 1912 championship, was the forerunnerof the present-day <strong>USGA</strong> Handicap System.Throughout its history, the U.S. Amateur has been the mostcoveted of all amateur titles. Many of the great names ofprofessional golf, such as Gene Littler, Arnold Palmer, JackNicklaus, Lanny Wadkins, Craig Stadler, Jerry Pate, MarkO’Meara, Hal Sutton, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, gracethe Havemeyer Trophy.It was, however, longtime amateur Robert T. Jones Jr. who firstattracted media coverage and spectator attendance at theAmateur Championship. Jones captured the championshipfive times (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930). His 1930 victory was astunning moment in golf history when, at Merion Cricket Clubin Ardmore, Pa., Jones rounded out the Grand Slam, winningthe four major American and British championships in one year.Sixty-six years later, in 1996, Woods attracted similar interestand enthusiasm when he won a record third consecutive U.S.Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in North Plains, Ore. In1994, Woods, at 18, entered the record book as the youngestever to win the Amateur Championship. In 1996, he brokeanother record when he won, having registered 18 consecutivematch-play victories. In 2008, Danny Lee of New Zealandbecame the youngest winner at 18 years and one month;this record was again broken in 2009 by Byeong-Hun An ofKorea, who won the title at 17 years, 11 months and 13 days.

<strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’s Amateur 5Terri Frohnmayer, 55, of Salem, Ore., who is nicknamed “LittleBit,” was a giant-killer in defeating Mina Hardin, 51, of FortWorth, Texas, and winning the 2011 <strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’sAmateur at the 5,876-yard, par-72 Honors Course.Consistently out-hit from the tee, Frohnmayer beat Hardin,the defending champion, 2 and 1. Despite being out-drivenby as much as 70 yards, she also knocked off Lisa Schlesinger,of Laytonsville, Md., and Kim Eaton, of Greeley, Colo., in thesemifinals and quarterfinals, respectively.“I’m certainly not a long ball hitter like Mina is,” saidFrohnmayer, “but it’s not the drive. It’s how you arrive. I justplayed the holes like I played all week. Just stay in the middleand get it on the green in regulation and two-putt.”As the two players walked off the 17th green, where the matchended, Hardin told Frohnmayer, “You played beautifully. Itwas a wonderful match. Enjoy it.”With overcast weather making the greens receptive toFrohnmayer’s hybrid wood shots, she was able to stop herapproach shots to the green, very often near the hole.But Frohnmayer had to come from behind to win her firstnational championship. Hardin got off to a good start and wonthe second and fourth holes to take a 2-up lead. Frohnmayerthen won the fifth hole with a par and the sixth with a birdie tosquare the match.On the 140-yard, par-3 eighth hole, Frohnmayer rammed inan 18-foot birdie putt to take the lead for the first time.“That was a little bit unexpected when she made that longputt,” Hardin said. “She just knocked it right in. She hit beautifulshots and she had it all going today.”Frohnmayer hit her approach shot into a water hazard on No.9 and Hardin won the hole with a birdie to square the match,but her hopes for a repeat were dashed when her opponentwon three straight holes, beginning at the 11th.Frohnmayer Wins the 2011 ChampionshipHardin hit her tee shots into water hazards on the 11th and13th holes, making a bogey and a double-bogey to lose theholes. On the 315-yard, par-4 12th, Frohnmayer hit a pitchingwedge from 108 yards to within 3 1/2 feet and made the birdieputt to win the hole.At the end of the stretch of three holes, Frohnmayer was 3 up.She lost the par-3 16th hole when she hit her tee shot into awater hazard, making a double bogey to Hardin’s birdie. Atthe 17th, now dormie 2, Frohnmayer made a routine par tohalve the hole and win the match.In a field of experienced competitors, Frohnmayer was playingin just her third national championship. She lost to Betsy Kingin the second round of the 1973 U.S. Girls’ Junior and was amember of the Rollins College team that played in the 1978National Women’s Collegiate Championship.After college she went to work in real estate and put away hergolf clubs. She began playing again in 2003. After her motherdied in 2007, Frohnmayer returned to competition becauseher mother had urged her to. She won the 2010 PacificNorthwest Golf Association’s Women’s Senior Championshipbut was little known outside of the Pacific Northwest.“Life’s really short and I love being outdoors,” Frohnmayersaid. “It doesn’t get any better than being on a golf course.”Frohnmayer knew few players when she arrived at The HonorsCourse, but was befriended by volunteers. One couple,friends of Frohnmayer’s caddie, Bob Lawson, took her to dinner.The couple owns a fragrance company and concocted ascent of lavender and French vanilla for Frohnmayer. The fragranceis named “Victory.”“It smells really good,” said Frohnmayer.SeniorWomen’s Am

<strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’s Amateur 11The <strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’s Amateur Championship was inauguratedin 1962 for women golfers age 50 and older.By the late 1950s, a number of senior women’s golf organizationshad been formed, principally to conduct tournaments,but there was no existing tournament to determine thenational champion. The <strong>USGA</strong> was requested to step in, andin January 1962, the Executive Committee approved such acompetition.In its own quiet way, senior women’s golf has flourishedover the years. Several major competitions have sprung upthroughout the country, and with the expansion of women’sgolf, the number of quality senior players has increased dramatically.Many women, aged 50 and over, for the first timefind they have the requisite time for top-level competitivegolf. Additionally, some of the nation’s finest amateurs haveadvanced into this age group and still seek to test their talentand experience on a championship level. Many women whoenter these competitions also have been instrumental in thedevelopment of women’s golf in this country, encouragingyounger players and conducting tournaments at all levels.The first Senior Women’s Amateur Championship, in 1962 atthe Manufacturers’ Golf and Country Club in Oreland, Pa.,was a stroke-play showdown of two longtime rivals. MaureenOrcutt, a four-time Curtis Cup player, finished with a 54-holescore of 240, seven strokes ahead of Glenna Collett Vare.In the 1920s and 1930s, Vare reigned as this country’s finestwoman player with a record six victories in the U.S. Women’sAmateur.Great players of the past have thus far dominated the SeniorWomen’s Amateur. Carolyn Cudone, another former CurtisCup Team member, won the championship five times in successionbetween 1968 and 1972.Dorothy Porter won four Senior Women’s Amateurchampionships and is one of only four players to have alsocaptured the U.S. Women’s Amateur. In 1993, Anne Sander,the Women’s Amateur champion in 1958, 1961 and 1963, wonher fourth Senior Women’s Amateur.Marlene Stewart Streit, U.S. Women’s Amateur champion in1956, won the Senior Women’s Amateur in 1985, 1994 and2003, and was runner-up a record five times. The 47-yearspan between Streit’s first and last <strong>USGA</strong> titles is the longestamong all <strong>USGA</strong> champions.Carol Semple Thompson won the 1973 Women’s Amateur andthe 1990 and 1997 Women’s Mid-Amateurs, and captured herfourth consecutive Senior Women’s Amateur title in 2002.After 35 years of a stroke-play format, the 1997 championshipwas the first Senior Women’s Amateur to be conducted atmatch play. It was the last of the <strong>USGA</strong>’s 10 national amateurchampionships to adopt a match-play format.SeniorWomen’s Am

U.S. Mid-Amateur 5Lewis Wins the 2011 ChampionshipFifteen years after losing in the championship match, RandalLewis, 54, of Alma, Mich., finally claimed a U.S. Mid-Amateurtitle, defeating 31-year-old Kenny Cook of Noblesville, Ind., 3and 2, in the 36-hole finale conducted at 7,170-yard, par-72Shadow Hawk Golf Club in Richmond, Texas.There was a bit of irony in this victory for Lewis. When he lostthat 1996 final at Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford, Conn., itcame to Indiana resident John “Spider” Miller of Bloomingtonby a 3-and-2 margin.Lewis also became the oldest winner of this national championshipfor golfers 25 and older, surpassing the previous mark heldby George Zahringer, who was 49 when he claimed the 2002title at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich, Conn. Lewis was also20 years older than the average age of the previous 30 Mid-Amateur champions (34.8) and the second-oldest player tomake match play behind 60-year-old Paul Simson.With his victory, Lewis, a financial advisor who played fourweeks of professional golf on Florida mini-tours after graduatingfrom Central Michigan in 1980, earned a 10-year exemptionto the U.S. Mid-Amateur, a two-year exemption to theU.S. Amateur, an exemption to the next two <strong>USGA</strong> SeniorAmateurs (he turns 55 in May 2012), an exemption out of localqualifying for the next three U.S. Opens and a likely invitationto the 2012 Masters.“I know the Masters is a dream come true,” said Lewis, “but tobe a <strong>USGA</strong> champion, especially the U.S. Mid-Amateur champion,is just unbelievable.”Lewis capped off quite a week in the Houston suburbs, especiallythe final two days when he eliminated Michael McCaffrey,41, of League City, Texas, in the quarterfinals, 3 and 1, two-timedefending champion Nathan Smith, 33, of Pittsburgh, Pa., in a19-hole semifinal thriller and the long-hitting Cook in the final.Smith, a two-time USA Walker Cup Team member (2009 and2011), had his consecutive Mid-Amateur match winning streakstopped at 16 and saw his bid for an unprecedented fourthnational title come up two victories short. Smith had won thechampionship in 2003, 2009 and 2010.Lewis said he took a different mindset into this championshipfinal. Back in 1996, he admitted to thinking too much about thelikely Masters invitation instead of his opponent. So as he preparedto play Cook, who had defeated second-seeded JohnEngler, 32, of Augusta, Ga., in the semifinals, Lewis told himselfto just go out and enjoy the moment and not think about theend game.That philosophy worked as Lewis jumped out to a quick 2-uplead, thanks to some aggressive mistakes by Cook. At the par-5first hole, Cook tried to reach the green in two, but insteadpulled his fairway-metal approach into the water hazard. Onthe green in four, Cook watched Lewis drain a 15-foot birdieputt.Then at the second hole, with the tees moved up to make thepar 4 play just 292 yards, Cook’s 3-wood went left and afterleaving his approach shot in a greenside bunker, he failed to getup and down for par, and Lewis won the hole with a 4.Cook, an accountant for the U.S. Department of Defense whospent seven months playing professionally after graduatingfrom Ball State in 2003, would eventually square the matchwith birdies at 13 and 14, but a bogey-5 at No. 16 and doublebogey-7at the par-5 closing hole – he put two balls in thewater, including a 6-iron second shot from 201 yards – left him2 down at the lunch break.“I was definitely furious walking off 18,” said Cook, “ justbecause I didn’t give myself an opportunity there. I kind of gaveit to him.”Lewis, however, wasn’t at all bothered by Cook’s power,despite giving up as much as 60 yards off the tee and needingto hit long irons or hybrids into the longer par 4s compared midand short-irons for his opponent.What Lewis lacked in length, he made up for with precisionand dexterity around the greens. A beautiful flop shot from60 yards at the 19th hole led to a winning birdie against Smithin the semifinals, and in a third-round 1-up win over ScottHarvey, a match he called one of the finest of his career, he hadseven one-putt greens over the final nine holes.Against Cook, he shot the equivalent of four under par – withthe usual match-play concessions – and registered only threebogeys over the 34 holes.Cook managed to cut the deficit to 1 down at the 20th holeby driving the 342-yard second hole and making a two-puttbirdie. But he could never return the match to all square.At the par-5 ninth, Lewis holed a delicate 8-foot downhillbirdie putt to take a 2-up lead. He would eventually increasethat margin to 4 up through 31 holes.Cook, whose wife Lisa competed in the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur that was held concurrently with the Mid-Amateur atBayville Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Va., would win the par-532nd hole with a birdie, but the next two holes were halvedand Lewis had that elusive national championship.“That’s as good as it gets for me,” said Lewis. “You saw my peakperformance.”Mid-Am

12 U.S. Mid-AmateurChampionship HistoryMid-AmIn 1981, the <strong>USGA</strong> inaugurated its first new championshipfor amateurs in 19 years, the U.S. Mid-Amateur. The Mid-Amateur, for amateur golfers of at least 25 years of age, providesa formal national champion ship for the post-collegeamateur, for whom the game is truly an avocation.Before the arrival of the Mid-Amateur, the post-collegiateplayer could compete in the Amateur Championship, sometimessuccessfully, but these older amateurs faced greaterodds. While they fit their golf around their work and families,they were most often competing against college golfers, forwhom the game is close to a full-time activity.Only about 40 percent of those who qualify for the U.S.Amateur Championship each year are at least 25, althoughseveral have been quite successful. For example, Bob Lewis Jr.,then 35, reached the Amateur final in 1980, and the semifinalsin 1981 and 1986. Jay Sigel won consecutive Amateur titles in1982 and 1983 (at ages 38 and 39, respectively), then addedthe Mid-Amateur title in 1983, 1985 and 1987. In 1986, BuddyAlexander, 33, a reinstated amateur, won the U.S. Amateurand in 1993, 41-year-old John Harris won the Amateur.In general, however, most post-collegiate amateurs foundthemselves at a disadvantage competing against college golfers.Thus, the Mid-Amateur Championship was born.Played at the Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, the first Mid-Amateur drew 1,638 entries in 1981. The field included threeformer Amateur champions: Gary Cowan (1966, 1971), Marvin“Vinny” Giles III (1972) and Fred Ridley (1975). Jim Holtgrieve,33, of Des Peres, Mo., defeated fellow Walker Cup Teammember Bob Lewis Jr., 37, of Warren, Ohio, in the final, 2 up.In 1983, Jay Sigel, 39, of Berwyn, Pa., became the first golferin 53 years to win two <strong>USGA</strong> championships in the same yearwhen he added the Mid-Amateur Championship to the U.S.Amateur he had won just 32 days earlier.Sigel became the Mid-Amateur’s first two-time winner whenhe again captured the championship in 1985. Sigel won histhird Mid-Amateur in 1987. Combined with his two U.S.Amateur titles (1982, 1983), Sigel won a total of five <strong>USGA</strong>championships.In 1987’s first qualifying round, Don Bliss, of St. Louis, madeholes-in-one on the eighth and 10th holes at Brook HollowGolf Club in Dallas, Texas. Bliss is the only player to score twoholes-in-one in one round of a <strong>USGA</strong> champion ship.Jim Stuart, of Macon, Ga., became the first player to win twoconsecutive Mid-Amateur Cham pion ships when he won in1990 and 1991. Pittsburgh’s Nathan Smith, who had alreadywon the 2003 championship, also won consecutive titles in2010 and 2011.The U.S. Mid-Amateur Cham pionship has continued to growin popularity and in 1989 topped 3,000 entries for the firsttime.In its short history, the championship’s unique age qualificationhas inspired similar tournaments throughout the country andthere are now Mid-Amateur events in nearly every state.In 2001, the final match was expanded from 18 to 36 holes.

<strong>USGA</strong> Men’s State Team 5Kansas Wins the 2010 ChampionshipThe gigantic smile on Bryan Norton’s face told the entire story.Twice a <strong>USGA</strong> runner-up — once as an individual at the 2003U.S. Mid-Amateur and again in September 2009 at the Men’sState Team Championship — the 51-year-old from MissionHills, Kan., was longing to take home a national title.Norton’s quest finally ended at the 2010 <strong>USGA</strong> Men’s StateTeam Championship at Mayacama Golf Club in Santa Rosa,Calif. Carding a 3-under-par 68 in the final round, Nortonguided Kansas to a four-stroke victory over Rhode Island,Florida and North Carolina.Kansas, which started the day tied with Georgia for the36-hole lead, shot an even-par 142 on the 6,726-yard JackNicklaus design to finish the 54-hole competition at 2-under423. Charlie Stevens, of Wichita, and Tyler Shelton, of Fairway,each posted 74s, with one being discarded in the threecount-twoformat.“This means a lot,” said the 41-year-old Stevens. “I’m excitedfor Bryan. He’s done a lot for Kansas golf.“I don’t know if it’s vindication or justification, but we showedwe can play. It’s a neat deal. It’s going to be really neat for theKansas Golf Association. [Executive Director] Kim Richey didnot make it [to Mayacama]. He’s going to be pretty excited.”Georgia, meanwhile, struggled on the final day, posting a10-over 152 to share ninth place. The disappointment wasshown on the faces of all three players entering the scoringarea adjacent to the 18th green. David Noll Jr., of Dothan,who had a course-record 65 in round two, carded a 77 andAdam Cooper added a 75.Florida, which started the day five strokes back, made an earlyrun at Kansas on the first nine, shooting four under par. Butonly Don Bell managed to finish with a sub-par score (67).Jon Veneziano added a 74. It was Florida’s best finish since theinaugural event in 1995 at Lake Nona, where they were solosecond to champion Virginia.“We’re excited about that for sure,” said Bell, coming off asecond-round 80. “Of course it’s disappointing not to win.Congratulations to the winners, they played great. I think forour association, we are very pleased to finish second.”North Carolina, which also tied for second in 2003, posted a1-under 140 behind a 70 by Scott Harvey and Uly Grisette’s71.Rhode Island produced its best finish ever in the State Teamafter sharing fourth last year with South Carolina. CharlieBlanchard rallied with a second-nine 33 for a 71 and BobbyLeopold posted a 70.With the course baked in sunshine all day and just a gentlebreeze, conditions were ideal for scoring. Eight teams managedunder-par totals, doubling the totals (four) from thefirst two rounds. Eighteen individuals broke par, equaling thenumber of sub-par rounds over the first 36 holes.Kansas appeared it was going to run away from the field earlyon the second nine, with Shelton and Norton under par. Butthings can change rapidly in a team event, and when Sheltondoubled No. 17 and knocked two in the water on 18 for atriple-bogey 8, things became a little precarious.Norton, playing in the final group, only saw on a scoreboardthat his team was six under and never heard about Shelton’stravails on the last two holes. He managed to birdie both par-5s coming in, reaching the 18th in two and two-putting for aclosing birdie to offset a bogey at the par-3 17th.The victory was especially sweet for Norton. At the 2003U.S. Mid-Amateur, he pulled a calf muscle 8½ holes into thechampionship match and had to concede to Nathan Smith. Atthe 2009 Men’s State Team conducted at The Country Club ofSt. Albans in suburban St. Louis, Norton, competing with twodifferent players (Jon Troutman and Dodge Kemmer), watchedhis team open with a 9-under 133, matching the championship18-hole scoring mark. Caught in a heavy downpour in roundtwo, the team struggled to a 152 and couldn’t recover enoughin the final round, placing three strokes behind championPennsylvania, and ironically Smith.Norton vowed 2010 would provide a different outcome, urgingthe Kansas Golf Association to change its selection criteriato focus on hot players, not overall points. The process seemedto work.“As soon as they selected the team, I sent an email to these twoguys that we’re going to win,” said Norton, a veteran of twoprevious State Team Championships. “We’re not going thereto play good. We had a good team for this course. We hadguys who could keep it in play and good decision-makers.”Men’sState Team

It was decidedthat a new championship, one in which each state could berepresented by non-collegiate, amateur golfers, was a goodway to cap the <strong>USGA</strong>’s year-long celebration. The State TeamChampionship proved such a success that it has returned everytwo years.The championship was fashioned after the biennial WorldAmateur Team Championships. Each state was invited to sendthree players; 46 states and Puerto Rico sent teams to competeat Lake Nona Golf Club in Orlando, Fla., in 1995, and 50 statesand Puerto Rico sent teams to compete at SunRidge CanyonGolf Club in Fountain Hills, Ariz., in 1997. From 2001 to 2007and in 2010, 52 teams — all 50 states, Puerto Rico and theDistrict of Columbia — participated.State associations were given the option to choose their teamsby any method. College players, however, were ineligible dueto NCAA bylaws. Under current NCAA rules, a player mayonly participate in an international team match when that team issponsored by the national governing body, such as in the WalkerCup Match. Otherwise, the player is faced with being declaredineligible for the remainder of the season of the infraction, aswell as the following season.Some states chose their players by a point system. Someselected the top finishers from their state championships orconducted qualifying tournaments. Other states empanelledselection committees that sifted through the year’s results.The first Men’s State Team Championship, conducted Oct.26-28, 1995, gave a decided advantage to Southern teams asit came beyond the competitive season for many states. TheSouth Dakota team, for example, had left home with six inchesof snow on the ground, and the Alaskans had not played sincemid-September.Based on the original World Amateur Team format, in whicheach team fields four players, with only the best three scorescounted each of three rounds, Virginia prevailed in the inauguralchampionship. Minnesota, with nationally decoratedamateur John Harris leading the way, won the 1997 event witha cumulative score of 416, 10 under par.The lone individual prize is a bronze medal to the low scorer,but it is important that many of the best amateurs in the countryhave supported these early champion ships. In 1997, fourmembers of that year’s USA Walker Cup Team played, includingHarris, and many <strong>USGA</strong> champions have represented theirhome state.

12 Women’s World Amateur TeamChampionship HistoryWWATCWhat began as a proposal for a match in 1964 between theUSA and France grew into the Women’s World Amateur TeamChampionship.The impetus for this championship was an invitation by theFrench Golf Federation for the USA Curtis Cup Team to stopoff in France for an informal match after that year’s Curtis CupMatch in Wales.The <strong>USGA</strong> accepted the invitation, but also suggested invitingother nations to create a women’s counterpart to the WorldAmateur Team Championship. That event for men’s teamsbegan in 1958 after an invitation from Japan to establish amatch between the two nations.The French were delighted to sponsor the inaugural women’schampionship and arranged for it to be played at the St.Germain Golf Club, near Paris, in October 1964. The event,under the chairmanship of Vicomtesse de Saint-Sauveur, wasa triumph.A total of 25 teams and 75 players participated, which instantlyestablished the competition as a member of international golf’sfamily of championships. Spectator enthusiasm at the firstchampionship was keen, since the host team prevailed over theUSA by one stroke.The French player Catherine Lacoste, who would later becomea heroine of the amateur game when she won the 1967 U.S.Women’s Open, was a big factor in the excitement in herhome country. Her final-round 73 secured the Espirito SantoTrophy for France. Lacoste tied with the USA’s Carol Sorensonat 294 for medalist honors.While no prize is given for individual scoring, JennyChuasiriporn, of the USA, lowered the 72-hole individualscoring record in 1998. She shot 276 at Prince of WalesCountry Club in Santiago, Chile, two shots better than thescore returned by countrywoman Wendy Ward four yearsearlier at The National Golf Club in Versailles, France. Jung-Eun Han, of Korea, broke Chuasiriporn’s record with a 275 atOlivos Golf Club and Buenos Aires Golf Club in Buenos Aires,Argentina, in 2010.In 1966, the World Amateur Golf Council assumed sponsorshipof future Women’s World Amateur Team Championships.Since its second-place finish in the inaugural, the USA hasdominated, winning 13 times. Australia (1978, 2002), Spain(1986, 1992), Sweden (2004, 2008), France (1964, 2000) andKorea (1996, 2010) are the only other multiple victors.For the first time, in 2002, the championship for the EspiritoSanto Trophy was played on two courses.In 2003, the organization’s name was changed to theInternational Golf Federation.

<strong>USGA</strong> Senior Amateur 5Lee Wins the 2011 ChampionshipLouis Lee, 55, of Heber Springs, Ark., made a 4-foot par-putton the 18th hole to edge Philip Pleat, 55, of Nashua, N.H.,1 up, in the championship match of the 2011 <strong>USGA</strong> SeniorAmateur, conducted at 6,829-yard, par-72 Kinloch Golf Clubin Manakin-Sabot, Va.With the victory, Louis Lee joined his brother, Stanford, the2007 champion, as a winner of the event. Earlier in the championship,the pair had met in what is believed to be the first matchbetween two brothers in <strong>USGA</strong> history.“You could not have scripted it any better,” said Louis Lee, whodrove to Virginia all the way from Arkansas with Stanford andtheir wives. “It was one of the best days of golf we’ve ever hadas brothers.”As he had in his semifinal match against William ThomasDoughtie, Lee started quickly against Pleat. He converted a10-foot birdie putt on the fourth hole to take a 1-up lead andthen nearly aced his tee shot for a conceded birdie on thepar-3 fifth to extend his advantage to two holes.Lee gave back a hole with a three-putt bogey at the par-4sixth, but ran off victories on three consecutive holes beginningon the ninth to grab a 4-up lead.At that point, Lee appeared to have the match well in hand.Sitting just 20 feet away from the hole with Pleat off the green,it seemed that a two-putt would give him a 5-up advantagewith just six holes to play. But when Pleat converted his difficultup and down on hole No. 12 and Lee three-putted, themomentum swung to Pleat, at least momentarily.“When I finally made the putt there for par, I said, ‘You knowwhat? It’s still not over,’ ” said Pleat, who caddied for his son,James, in the 2011 U.S. Amateur at Erin Hills earlier in 2011. “Ihad played [holes] 13 through 15 pretty well during the week.In golf, anything can happen, so you just concentrate on thenext shot and go from there.”Within a half-hour, the tables had turned dramatically. Pleatbirdied the 13th and when Lee hooked his tee shot into thewater hazard on the par-3 14th, the Nashua-native’s deficitwas only one hole.Just when it seemed like the match was getting away from Lee,however, he righted the ship, hitting the last four greens inregulation to put the pressure on his opponent.Pleat had 8-foot birdie putts on both 17 and 18 to square thematch and send it to extra holes, but neither would fall. Whenhis putt burned the right edge on the closing hole, the stagewas set for Lee.“I was afraid I was on the fast track to giving it away,” said Lee.“But I kind of reached deep down on [holes] 16, 17 and 18. Andthat 4-foot putt on the last hole was sweet when it dropped. Itwas digging for that left lip, and it went in, I let off a deep sighof relief.”Prior to this year’s Senior Amateur, Lee had not played a singlecompetitive event in more than 25 years. Despite his success onthe national stage, his travel schedule may not change.“I’m going to go back to Heber Springs, Ark., population6,500, and I’m going to run my little insurance agency and goto the First Baptist Church,” said Lee. “I’m ready to be home fora while. I’m a simple guy, and I live a good life in the heartlandof America. I don’t plan to make any changes.”Louis and Stanford Lee joined four other sets of brothers whohave won <strong>USGA</strong> championships: Willie Smith (1899 U.S. Open)and Alex Smith (1906, 1910 U.S. Open); Hank Kuehne (1998Amateur) and Trip Kuehne (2007 Mid-Amateur); CharlesBarenaba (1974 Amateur Public Links) and Randy Barenaba(1975 Amateur Public Links); and Eddie Mudd (1976 AmateurPublic Links) and Jodie Mudd (1980, 1981 Amateur Public Links).Louis Lee also became the second-youngest champion in thehistory of the Senior Amateur, at 55 years and two months.Interestingly, Stanford Lee is the youngest winner in championshiphistory, having won only five days after his 55th birthday.When the two brothers met in the quarterfinals, it was agreedthat the loser of the match would caddie for the winner the restof the championship. Having Stanford on the bag in the finalwas a big help for Lee. The 59-year-old past champion servedas both a source of confidence and calming influence on thecourse in a high-pressure situation.“There’s no one in the world I’d rather be on the golf coursewith than him,” said Louis Lee. “We are brothers, but we arebest friends and we are each other’s biggest fan. Having him onthe bag made all the difference.”Pleat’s performance continued a strong showing by NewHampshire natives in <strong>USGA</strong> championships this season. Keene,N.H., resident Chelso Barrett was the runner-up to JordanSpieth at the 2011 U.S. Junior Amateur at Gold Mountain GolfClub. Pleat played against Barrett’s father, Hugh, in the final ofthe 1981 New Hampshire Amateur final.Pleat hit his tee ball well all day, hitting 13 of 14 fairways, butcouldn’t sink as many putts as he had in his quarterfinal andsemifinal victories over Paul Simson and Chip Lutz, respectively.During Wednesday’s rounds, Pleat made 13 birdies. OnThursday against Lee, he made just one.“Today, I was off, but that’s golf,” said Pleat, who has workedas a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch for more than threedecades. “You have to just hang in there and play with whatyou have that day. I knew it had to be good to have a chance ofbeating Louis. I just came up a little bit short, but it was a greatexperience.”SeniorAmateur

<strong>USGA</strong> Senior Amateur 11Championship HistoryThe remarkable growth of senior golf prompted the <strong>USGA</strong>to establish the Senior Amateur Champion ship in 1955. Manysenior golf associations had been founded on the local, stateand regional level, proving that the competitive instinct amonggolfers was not diminished by age.In 1955, the notion of a tournament only for seniors was not anew one. Fifty years earlier, The Apawamis Club in Rye, N.Y.,had started the oldest senior competition still in existence,which led directly to the formation of the U.S. Senior GolfAssociation, a private organization not linked to the <strong>USGA</strong>.Apawamis extended invitations to golfers 60 years of age andolder. When the response was not overwhelming, the ageminimum was dropped to 55 to gather a representative field.Thus was the definition of a senior amateur golfer established.The U.S. Senior Golf Association conducted a fine tournament,but membership in the organization was limited, and along waiting list developed. Because there was no single eventopen to all senior amateurs, the <strong>USGA</strong> was asked to start atrue national championship. The Senior Amateur was added tothe schedule in 1955. Entries were open to golfers age 55 andover who had handicaps not over 10 strokes.The first Senior Amateur at Belle Meade Country Club inNashville, Tenn., drew 370 entries from 30 states and theDistrict of Columbia. J. Wood Platt, 56, the eight-timePhiladelphia Amateur champion, defeated George Studingerof San Francisco, Calif., 5 and 4, in the final.In 1959, J. Clark Espie, who had won in 1957, became theSenior Amateur’s first two-time champion. Lewis W. Oehmig,a record six-time finalist, is also the only three-time winner(1972, 1976, 1985).Senior Amateur contestants may ride in carts, a concessionnot allowed when the championship was first played.Traditionalists, who believed walking was vital to a validnational title, finally gave in because the championship isplayed in the fall, when it is difficult to obtain caddies. Cartshave been allowed since 1963.The addition of the Senior Amateur gave the <strong>USGA</strong> exactlytwice as many championships as it had conducted beforeWorld War II, when there were just four: the Amateur, Openand Women’s Amateur, started in 1895, and the AmateurPublic Links (1922). From World War II until 1955, the <strong>USGA</strong>added four more: the Junior Amateur (1948), the Girls’ Junior(1949), the Women’s Open (1953) and the Senior Amateur(1955). The <strong>USGA</strong> now conducts 13 national championships forindividuals, 10 of which are strictly for amateurs.SeniorAmateur

World Amateur Team 5France Wins the 2010 ChampionshipJohann Lopez-Lazaro and Alexander Levy each shot evenpar72 to propel France to victory by four strokes overDenmark and five strokes over the USA at the 2010 WorldAmateur Team Championship, conducted at Buenos Aires GolfClub in Buenos Aires, Argentina.“It is unbelievable. It is fantastic,” said Levy, 20, who won theFrench Amateur in 2009. “It is a great moment.”Romain Wattel, who shot a non-counting 74 and was thereigning Argentine Amateur champion, joined Levy as two ofthe three lowest individual scorers.“It is fabulous for France and for our Federation and for allFrench golfers,” Wattel said. “It has been a great week.”The French, with a 7-under-par 423, fended off the Danesand Americans in the last 12 holes of the weather-shortened54-hole championship.In that stretch, Lopez-Lazaro, the 2010 Portugal Amateurchampion, overcame a poor start that included two bogeysand a double bogey in his first six holes by posting four birdieswith no bogeys.His 25-foot birdie on the 18th hole gavehim a final nine-hole score of 3-under 33. Levy holed a critical50-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th hole and was even parover those 12 holes.“I looked at the leader board on 17 and saw France at fiveunder and the Danish at four under,” Levy said. “Then, I madethat birdie. It was great.”Because of poor weather during the second round, thechampionship was reduced to 54 holes but the efficient Frenchheld the lead at the end of each round. With a compressedschedule, the top 17 teams started their third rounds onSunday. In the third round, the leading teams played BuenosAires Golf Club and the others played Olivos Golf Club.Winds gusted to approximately 20-30 mph most of the day.France began the day with a one-stroke lead over Denmarkand six ahead of the USA. Early in the round, the Danes hadhope because of the play of Joachim Hansen, who was the lowindividual scorer at 6-under-par 209. With his birdie on thepar-5 sixth, the Danes had a one-stroke lead.“At 13, we thought we had a chance and we were quite surethe boys would do it,” said Torben Nyehuus, Denmark’scaptain. “But it kind of slipped away. Look at the last six holes.We made a bogey and a double bogey. That’s the way it is.We are small country with not a lot of good amateur golfersand this could be more than we could expect.”One hole after the Danes gained the lead, Lopez-Lazaroand Levy steadied their play and staved off a rally by theAmericans. Led by 2010 U.S. Amateur champion Peter Uihlein,who shot the lowest individual round of the day (2-under-par70), the USA closed to within two strokes.“They were solid and didn’t make a lot of mistakes, at least(Alexander) Levy didn’t,” Uihlein said. “That made it hard tocatch them. Obviously, it’s disappointing but my hat is off toFrance. They played solid. They didn’t make a lot of mistakesand it was probably too big of a lead.”The French Team added to its second-place finish in 2002 andits tie for third in 1992 for a third medal in Eisenhower Trophycompetition. Team captain Maitena Delamontagne was amember of France’s gold-medal winning team in the Women’sWorld Amateur Team Championship in 2000.“It is still a very special feeling,” Delamontagne said. “I think Iwas more nervous on the first tee today than I was as a player.I was able to be active in the result as a player but as a captain Ican only give advice but I cannot control anything else.”Denmark, at 427, claimed its first medal in the championship.The USA, at 428, now has 23 medals, with a top-10 finish in all27 Eisenhower Trophy competitions.Ireland and the USA had the low team score of the final day at1-under-par 143.In the top 10, the USA was followed by New Zealand, infourth, at 435, defending champion Scotland in fifth at436, Ireland at 439 in sixth and Germany at 440 in seventh.England, Belgium and Canada shared eighth place at 441.WATC

Even those American advocates ofadding golf to the Olympics seemed satisfied with the WorldTeam Championship idea.In January 1958, the <strong>USGA</strong> Executive Committee approvedin principle a plan for such a championship. That March, agroup of <strong>USGA</strong> representatives, including <strong>USGA</strong> PresidentJohn D. Ames, met with officials of the Royal & Ancient GolfClub to discuss the plan. St. Andrews was proposed as thesite of the first championship later that year. The R&A joined inimplementing the idea. In May, representatives of the nationalamateur golf associations of 35 countries attending a planningconference in Washington, D.C., formed the World AmateurGolf Council. The council had 32 member organizations andplanned the first championship.President Dwight D. Eisenhower received the delegates inthe Rose Garden of the White House and consented to thenaming of the championship prize as The Eisenhower Trophy.Eisenhower endorsed the concept, saying, “Both officially andpersonally I am interested in the plan advanced by the <strong>USGA</strong>for an amateur team golf championship among nations. I visualizeit, as you do, as a potent force for establishing goodwilland friendship between yet another segment of the populationsof nations.”The championship received yet another stroke of good luckwhen Bob Jones agreed to be captain of the first USA Team.Jones had taken the first leg of his 1930 Grand Slam at St.Andrews by winning the British Amateur, but 22 years hadpassed since he had visited there last.The first championship was played over the Old Course of St.Andrews in October 1958, and 115 players representing 29countries played. Australia won in a playoff with the USA. Thelowest individual scores for the 72 holes were 301s by WilliamHyndman III, of the USA, Bruce Devlin, of Australia, and ReidJack, of Great Britain & Ireland.Jack Nicklaus, who represented the USA in 1960 at MerionGolf Club (East Course), in Ardmore, Pa., holds the 72-holeindividual scoring record of 269, although individual scores arenot recognized with a prize.While the USA has prevailed in 13 of the 27 competitions,Great Britain & Ireland has won four times, and countries asdiverse in the world of golf as Australia, Canada, Japan, NewZealand, Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden have each capturedthe Eisenhower Trophy.The World Amateur Team Championship has now been conductedin 24 nations.The organization’s name changed to the International GolfFederation in 2003.WATC

U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur 5Port Wins the 2011 ChampionshipEllen Port added her name to the Mildred Prunaret Women’sMid-Amateur Championship Trophy for a record fourth timewith her 2-and-1 victory over fellow past champion MarthaLeach at the 25th Women’s Mid-Amateur, conducted atBayville Golf Club in Virginia Beach, Va.Port, a high school golf coach and physical education teacherfrom St. Louis, Mo., previously captured the championship forwomen age 25 and older in 1995, 1996 and 2000. The 11-yearspan since her last victory broke the championship record ofseven years held by Carol Semple Thompson, who won in 1990and 1997.“It’s just a culmination of a lot of hard work and still having a lifeoutside of golf and still wondering if you could still win,” saidPort, a mother of two who celebrated her 50th birthday theday before the final. “It’s been a really special week.”Port never trailed in the match, which was halted for 38 minutesdue to a thunderstorm with the players on the 12th green. Sheonly fell behind once in her six championship matches.“I just really had a peace about everything this week,” said Port,who advanced to the final with a 3-and-2 victory over HeleneBeat in Thursday morning’s semifinal round. “I was very calmand very at peace with myself, and I think that made a big differencein my golf game.”Leach, 49, of Hebron, Ky., carded consecutive bogeys to openthe match and give Port an early 2-up advantage. After halvingthe third with birdies, Port hooked her second shot on thepar-5 fourth hole into a fairway bunker. She then missed thegreen and could not get up and down. The bogey knockedone hole off her lead.“I don’t think my legs were tired,” said Port. “I just sometimesget anxious, and I just hooked a 4-(hybrid) and didn’t do verywell on that.”Port’s struggles continued, as an unplayable lie from an area ofnative grasses on the par-5 sixth led to a bogey. Leach took thehole with a par and squared the match.But from there, the afternoon belonged to Port. Leach’s bogeyat the par-4 seventh handed the lead back to Port, one thatshe never surrendered. Her lead stretched to 2 up at the par-410th, when Leach uncharacteristically stroked her 5-foot parputt just right of the hole.“She missed more putts than she normally does,” said Port ofher good friend. “She’s a really good putter.”“I had been hitting it really well (this week),” said Leach, the2009 champion. “Today, I woke up and I just couldn’t get anythinggoing.”Following the brief rain delay, Port tacked another hole ontoher lead when Leach’s 30-foot par attempt at the par-4 12thstopped 3 feet short.“That had been a really good hole for me most of the days,”said Port, who won the hole by converting her 10-foot par puttafter finding a fairway bunker off the tee. “It moved just a littlebit, and I played conservative and got away with it.”Leach chipped away at Port’s lead with a 4-foot par save at thepar-3 13th after Port missed her 7 footer. But Port’s lead was toomuch to overcome, and halves over the next four holes gaveher the victory.Leach struggled to find her game all day. With the championshipschedule altered due to an extended rain delay duringstroke play, the semifinal and final rounds were played on thesame day rather than on separate days. Leach had to survive a19-hole comeback win over Tara Joy-Connelly on Thursdaymorning before heading to the championship final.“My first match today took it all out of me,” said Leach, the sisterof six-time <strong>USGA</strong> champion Hollis Stacy. “When you don’t hitit solid and you’re not making putts, you’re working so hard toget something going.“It just wasn’t my time to win, so I’m OK with that.”Port and Leach have long Women’s Mid-Amateur histories,playing in their 22nd and 23rd championships, respectively.For Port, the opportunity to share today’s experience with hergood friend was more valuable than any championship trophy.“I almost started crying walking down the fairway because Iwas watching John (Leach, Martha’s husband and caddie) andMartha,” said Port. “I love playing with Martha. I’m really gladwe played because I would have sincerely been happy if she’dhave won as well.“That’s golf at its finest, being able to have two friends (competingin the final). And I know she’s disappointed in the wayshe played, but she’s a champion.”Women’sMid-Amateur

U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur 11Championship HistoryThe U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship originated in1987 as a result of a need determined by an ad hoc committeeheaded by Dena Nowotny, a member of the <strong>USGA</strong> Women’sCommittee.The Women’s Mid-Amateur, the <strong>USGA</strong>’s 13th championship,was created to provide a national competitive arena for amateursage 25 and older.By 1987, it had become increasingly difficult for female amateurgolfers beyond college to compete equitably with theircollegiate counterparts, for whom golf was nearly a full-timevocation.One must go back to 1973 and Carol Semple Thompson tofind the last career amateur to win the U.S. Women’s Amateur.As with any new championship, there was initial concern withthe level of entries. In this case, women amateurs respondedwith enthusiasm. The first championship attracted 320 entries,only 29 fewer than the number that had entered the 1987Women’s Amateur a few weeks earlier.The starting field of 135 players was determined by sectionalqualifying. The first Women’s Mid-Amateur was played atSouthern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. The inauguralchampionship was won by Cindy Scholefield, 27, of Malibu,Calif.The Women’s Mid-Amateur has been the setting for anumber of noteworthy finals. In 1989, Robin Weiss, of PalmBeach Gardens, Fla., defeated Page Marsh Lea on the 22ndhole. In 1990, despite the tremendous pressure of competingon her home course as a crowd favorite, Carol SempleThompson, 41, of Sewickley, Pa., defeated Marsh Lea, 3 and 1,at the Allegheny Country Club, where Semple Thompson hadlearned the game.Ellen Port, of St. Louis, Mo., is the winningest champion inWomen’s Mid-Amateur history. In 2011, she captured herfourth championship title with a 2-and-1 victory over 2009champion Martha Leach at Bayville Golf Club in VirginiaBeach, Va. Having previously won in 1991, 1993 and 2000,Port’s 11-year span between victories broke the record ofseven years, set by Thompson in 1997.Sarah LeBrun Ingram of Nashville, Tenn., in 1994 became thefirst player to take consecutive Women’s Mid-Amateur championships.She had previously won in 1991 and 1993. MeghanBolger Stasi became the third, following Port, to claim threeWomen’s Mid-Amateur titles with her victory in the 2010championship. She also won back-to-back titles in 2006 and2007.Women’sMid-Amateur

Walker Cup Match 5Great Britain and Ireland Wins the 2011 MatchGreat Britain and Ireland, bolstered by the undefeated recordsof Paul Cutler and Rhys Pugh, won the Walker Cup Matchfor the first time since 2003 at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club inScotland with a 14-12 victory over the USA.Cutler, 22, of Northern Ireland, and the winner of the 2011Irish Amateur, compiled a 3-0-1 mark. Welshman Pugh, theyoungest competitor on either side at 17, was a perfect 3-0.He won the 2011 Irish Amateur Open and will attend EastTennessee State University in the USA.GB&I has now claimed four of the last five Walker CupMatches played on home soil, dating to 1995 at RoyalPorthcawl in Wales.“I said to the boys at lunchtime that we haven’t done it yet,”said GB&I Captain Nigel Edwards. “We had to get on with itbecause the Americans are great players. I had a lot of faith inthese boys as I’ve said all week. They are a great bunch. Theywant to win. They have a lot of passion and desire.”In the windiest conditions of the two-day biennial competitionin Sunday morning’s foursomes (alternate-shot), GB&I wonthree matches and tied a fourth to increase its lead to 10½-5½. With winds gusting to 30-35 mph and the outward nineplaying downwind, GB&I jumped out to substantial leads inthree matches and gained three points to just a half point forthe USA, thanks to the victories of the tandems of Jack Seniorand Andy Sullivan; Cutler and Alan Dunbar; and James Byrneand Pugh.The lone USA half-point came from Jordan Spieth and PatrickRodgers. Spieth holed an 18-foot par putt at the 18th hole tohalve the match against Tom Lewis and Michael Stewart.The USA won the first two matches of the afternoon singlessessions to cut into the GB&I lead, but Steven Brown’s halvewith the USA’s Blayne Barber in the sixth match earned thenecessary 13½ points to win the Match for the first time sinceGB&I prevailed at Ganton Golf Club in England in 2003.The USA’s 6½-3½ margin in singles was its only session victoryamong the four played. The teams split eight singles matcheson Saturday.“Our preparation and the desire to be successful,” saidEdwards of the keys to victory. “I told them they were veryspecial people and they deserve to be here. And all they haveto do is go out and perform and look after their ball becauseit’s not played on paper.The GB&I victory breaks a string of three consecutive wins bythe USA in the Match.“Oh, gosh, these guys, they played so hard, and with so muchheart,” said USA Captain Jim Holtgrieve said, himself a threetimeWalker Cup participant. “They went out and did exactlywhy they got on this team; because they know exactly howto play in competition and that’s what they showed this afternoon.”Peter Uihlein, the 2010 U.S. Amateur champion, improvedto 4-0 in singles matches with his 2-and-1 win over StiggyHodgson, leaving the Oklahoma State All-American just onewin behind Bob Jones, who was 5-0-0. Spieth, a two-timeU.S. Junior Amateur champion and the youngest member ofthe USA Team, was the top point-getter for the USA with a2-0-1 mark.To commemorate 10 years since the tragic events of Sept. 11,2001, the USA wore commemorative hats with the words“Never Forget” inscribed on the side along with the years2001 and 2011.

8 Walker Cup MatchMatch HistoryThe Walker Cup Match began in the wake of World War Iwith a view toward stimulating golf interest on both sides of theAtlantic. The match grew in part out of two international matchesbetween the USA and Canada, in 1919 and 1920.At the same time, British and American amateurs consideredeach nation’s national amateur championship a great plum.Mean while, the <strong>USGA</strong> Executive Committee had been invitedto Great Britain for a series of meetings with the Royal andAncient Golf Club of St. Andrews Rules Committee. The meetingwas to look at the advisability of modifying various rulesof the game. Among the participants was George HerbertWalker, <strong>USGA</strong> president in 1920.Upon the Executive Committee’s return to the United Statesof America, international team matches were discussed. Theidea so appealed to Walker that he soon presented a plan andoffered to donate a trophy. Walker had been a low handicapplayer and was a keen advocate of the game. When the pressdubbed the trophy the Walker Cup, the name stuck.In 1921, the <strong>USGA</strong> invited all golfing nations to send teamsto compete in the Match, but no country was able to acceptthat year. The Americans stuck to their mission, however, andWilliam C. Fownes, the 1910 U.S. Amateur champion, whohad twice assembled the amateur teams that played againstCanada, rounded up a third team in the spring of 1921 andtook it to England. At Hoylake, the American team defeateda British team, 9-3, in an informal match the day before theBritish Amateur.Early in 1922, The R&A announced that it would send a teamto compete for the Walker Cup at the National Golf Links ofAmerica, Walker’s home club, in Southampton, N.Y.Originally, the competition was open to any country that mightcare to challenge. The <strong>USGA</strong> invited all countries to compete.Except for Great Britain, however, no other country was ableto accept.Fownes was the American captain for the inaugural matchand his team consisted of Charles Evans Jr., Robert Gardner,U.S. Amateur champion Jesse Guilford, Robert T. Jones Jr.,Max Marston, Francis Ouimet, Jess Sweetser and RudolphKnepper, who did not play.Robert Harris was captain of the British side, and his playerswere Cyril Tolley, Roger Wethered, Colin Aylmer,C.V.L. Hooman, W.B. Torrance, John Caven and W. WillisMackenzie. Ernest Holderness, the British Amateur Champion,was unable to make the trip.Bernard Darwin, the golf writer of The Times of London, hadaccompanied the team and wound up playing in the Match.When Harris fell ill, Darwin was invited to compete in his placeand serve as playing captain. He defeated Fownes, 3 and 1.The American Team, however, prevailed, winning the firstWalker Cup Match, 8-4.Until recent years, the USA clearly dominated the series, butthe number of American victories never clouded the true purposeof the Walker Cup Match. A much higher value has beenplaced upon the series as a medium of international friendshipand understanding between The R&A and the <strong>USGA</strong>.The Match was played on an annual basis until 1924, when itwas decided that the financial strain of annual encounters wastoo severe. It was also believed that interest might drop if theMatches were played too frequently. A decision was made tomeet in alternate years.The series was interrupted by World War II after the 1938Match at St. Andrews, Scotland. When the Match resumed, in1947, St. Andrews was again selected as the site. Under normalpeacetime conditions, the Match would have been played inthe USA, but postwar economic conditions would have madethe trip difficult for the British.The USA leads the series, 34-8-1.Walker Cup

Walker Cup Match 37Jim Holtgrieve, 2013 USA Walker Cup CaptainJim Holtgrieve, of St. Louis, Mo., whose stellar amateur career includes a winning record as a member of three victorious USAWalker Cup Teams, the captaincy of the USA Team at the 2011 Match and an individual triumph at the inaugural U.S. Mid-AmateurChampionship in 1981, has been appointed captain of the 2013 USA Walker Cup squad by the United States Golf Association.“I am indeed honored once again to be named to captain the 2013 United States Walker Cup Team,” said Holtgrieve, 63. “The2011 Walker Cup journey was an incredible experience for me and one that I will never forget. Golf fans, friends and family allover the United States as well as overseas were so supportive of me during this experience that I was praying that I would have theopportunity to captain the 2013 Walker Cup Team.“I want to bring the Walker Cup back to the United States, but I also want to lead 10 men to have one of the best golfing experiencesthey can ever imagine. I thought I understood the true spirit of the game. However, the Walker Cup in Scotland proved somuch more to me about the real meaning.”Holtgrieve will captain the United States of America team for the 44th Walker Cup Match, to be held Sept. 7-8, at the NationalGolf Links of America in Southampton, N.Y.“Jim has an exceptional grasp of the meaning of the Walker Cup Match and conveyed that very well to the members of the 2011USA Team in Scotland,” said <strong>USGA</strong> President Jim Hyler. “So it is fitting that he uses that well-developed perspective as a playerand a captain to lead the USA squad in 2013 at The National Golf Links, which was the site of the first Match in 1922.”Holtgrieve was one of the country’s top amateur players during the 1970s and ‘80s and played on winning Walker Cup Teams in1979, 1981 and 1983, where he had a combined record in singles and foursomes (alternate shot) of 6-4. He also represented theUSA on two victorious World Amateur Team Championship squads, in 1980 and 1982.

<strong>USGA</strong> Women’s State Team 5Women’sState TeamGeorgia Wins the 2011 ChampionshipGeorgia, behind the stellar performance of 14-year-old RachelDai, of Suwanee, rallied from as much as a five-stroke deficitin the final round to register a two-stroke victory over Texasand Tennessee, and successfully defend its <strong>USGA</strong> Women’sState Team Championship on the 6,067-yard, par-72 PalmettoCourse at The Landings Club in Savannah, Ga.Dai, along with veteran Laura Coble, of Augusta, and 17-yearoldAmira Alexander, of Alpharetta, posted a 54-hole total of16-over-par 448 in the 3-count-2 team format.Georgia, the only team to have won multiple Women’s StateTeam titles – it also won in 2005 – joined the Texas men as theonly states to have claimed three State Team championshipssince the biennial competitions began in 1995.Dai shot an even-par 72 in a final round that included four birdiesover the last nine holes to secure individual medalist honorsat 2-under 214, edging Tennessee’s Calle Nielson by one stroke.Coble added a 5-over 77, while Alexander’s 79, her best roundof the championship, was not counted.Texas and Tennessee shared second at 18-over 450, but Texasearned the silver medal based on a better score from its thirdgolfer; Robin Burke (84) edged Maggie Scott (87) by threestrokes.Maryland, the 18- and 36-hole leader, wound up fourth at 451,followed by Mississippi (456), Florida (458) and New Jersey(458), which had its best showing ever at the Women’s StateTeam.Georgia also joined the Minnesota men and women, and theTexas men as the only teams to win State Team titles on homesoil.“It’s just unbelievable,” said the 47-year-old Coble. “It’s justhard to describe. The Landings has been so wonderful to us.[Georgia] is my home and where I’ve grown up, and they’vebeen wonderful to us.”Added Dai, who made an exquisite up-and-down par from agreenside bunker at No. 18 to help clinch the title: “The fact thatit was at home was the biggest thing. It was so awesome whenI found out [the championship] was in Savannah. I have beenhere before and I’ve always enjoyed coming back here. It was soamazing.”So was her play, especially over the final nine holes. It beganwith a 15-yard chip-in birdie from above a greenside bunker atNo. 11. She followed with birdies at 13, 15 and 16.Georgia’s victory came after a wild and windy day that saw fourdifferent teams hold the lead during the final round.Maryland was the first to falter as 17-year-old Elyse Smidingerstruggled to find her form from the first two days. After roundsof 68-72, the first of which included nine birdies (eight in a row),the Crofton resident could muster only a 79. With Andrea Kraus’76, Maryland shot 155 for the day, three behind Georgia.Texas made the first move of the round. The team held a fivestrokelead after nine holes before struggling down the stretch.Mina Hardin birdied four of her first six holes before hitting herdrive out of bounds at the par-5 seventh, leading to a doublebogey7.“That was totally unexpected,” said the 2010 <strong>USGA</strong> SeniorWomen’s Amateur champion and 2011 runner-up from FortWorth. “I rushed my shot. I came over it and [my ball] hit the cartpath. But stuff happens.”That double bogey proved to be a bad omen for Texas. Hardinwound up shooting a team-best 73, while Anna Schultz, ofRockwall, the 2007 <strong>USGA</strong> Senior Women’s Amateur champion,carded an 80 after opening the event with rounds of 72-75.Texas still had a chance at the end, but Hardin made a disappointingbogey at 18 and Schultz bogeyed No. 17 to give Texasits second runner-up finish at this championship.As Texas faltered, Tennessee moved into the lead by one strokewith just three holes left. Nielson, a recent University of Virginiagraduate from Nashville who had just advanced out of a StageII LPGA Tour Qualifying School tournament in Florida the weekbefore, birdied the par-3 15th hole to get to one under for theround.But like Texas, Tennessee failed to close strong. Nielsonbogeyed No. 17 and teammate Jennifer Lucas double-bogeyedthe same hole to drop back into a share of second. Nielson finishedwith an even-par 72 and was one of only two players tofinish in red figures (1-under 215). Lucas wound up with an 80.“I just couldn’t get any putts to fall,” said a mentally exhaustedNielson. “And the conditions were really tough. I played well.I’m coming off a lot of golf right now.”Georgia, playing ahead of the final three groups of Texas,Maryland and Tennessee, picked up the pieces at the end,although Coble wasn’t fully aware of the leader board fluidity.But her caddie, Dori Carter, a current LPGA Tour member whowas on the winning Georgia side in 2009, mentioned that Texaswas fading.Coble listened, but also knew she couldn’t worry about whatwas happening to the other teams.Later when someone mentioned that Georgia had won, Cobleremained cautious until the <strong>USGA</strong> made the results official.That’s when the celebration got crazy.“We did it all together,” said Coble. “There’s no one superstar.It’s very special.”

Club. State associations were giventhe option to choose their teams by any method, with onerestriction: college players were ineligible because of NCAAbylaws. The NCAA rule states that a player may only play inan international team match when that team is sponsored bythe national governing body, such as the Curtis Cup, or theWomen’s World Amateur Team Championship. Any infractionof that rule means the college player is faced with beingdeclared ineligible for the remainder of the season and thefollowing season.As a result, the field for the Women’s State TeamChampionship was made up almost entirely of mid-amateurand senior players. Some states used a point system to selectthe three-woman team. Others used the top finishers in theirstate championships or conducted qualifying tournaments. Afew states employed a selection committee to determine teammembers.Just as in the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship,the Women’s State Team Championship format meant thatonly the best two scores of each state’s three players werecounted on each of three days.The winning team in the inaugural championship was fromPennsylvania and was made up of Liz Haines, of Gladwyne,Judy Oliver, of Sewickley, and Carol Semple Thompson, alsoof Sewickley. Oliver and Thompson have both played for theUnited States of America in the Curtis Cup Match. The competitionwas close, as Pennsylvania’s score of 442 edged theTexas team by only one stroke.While no individual prizes were awarded, Toni Wiesner, ofFort Worth, Texas, and Lancy Smith, of Snyder, N.Y., recordedthe lowest individual scores. Each scored 219 for 54 holes,three over par.The first Women’s State Team Championship proved to besuch a popular competition that the decision was made toconduct the championship every two years.
