U.S. Junior Amateur11Championship HistoryIn 1948, the USGA inaugurated the U.S. Junior AmateurChampion ship to determine the best junior golfer inthe United States and also to help junior golfers learnhow to realize the most from the game, win or lose.The Junior Amateur was hardly the first junior competitionto attract a national field. The Western Juniorhad been established in 1914. In 1946, two more competitionsappeared, each with a claim on the nationaltitle. One was sponsored by the U.S. Junior Chamber ofCommerce, the other by the Hearst Newspapers.The first U.S. Junior Amateur was played at theUniversity of Michigan Golf Course and drew 495entries. The starting field of 128 players was determinedby sectional qualifying rounds at 41 sites. DeanLind of Rockford, Ill., was the first champion. Linddefeated 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 the13th consecutive year. At the time, there was no handicaplimitation for entrants. That changed in 1964 whena handicap limit of 10 strokes was introduced. In 1999,the championship attracted a record 4,508 entries.Qualifying was conducted at 61 sites.In 1978, the USGA conducted the Junior Amateur overthe South Course of the Wilmington (Del.) CountryClub, while the Girls’ Junior was being staged on theNorth Course. This was the first time the USGA conductedtwo national championships simultaneously atthe same golf club.The Junior Amateur is among the most difficult of allUSGA championships to win because of two factors: theage limit and the tremendous number of fine youngplayers who enter each year. Only one player, TigerWoods, has won the Junior Amateur more than once,winning in 1991, 1992 and 1993. In fact, only five playershave reached the final twice.Woods, who was 15 years, six months and 28 days oldwhen he won in 1991, remains the youngest champion.The Junior Amateur has another, more dubious, distinction.It is the only USGA championship for whichJack Nicklaus has been eligible that he did not win atleast once. Nicklaus qualified for the championship fivetimes; however, his best finish came in 1956, when hewas a semifinalist.The Junior Amateur remains today an educationalopportunity as well as a competitive outlet. Prechampionshipplayers’ dinners have attracted guestspeakers such as Francis Ouimet, Arnold Palmer, JohnnyMiller and Annika Sorenstam, all willing to share theirknowledge and experience with young players.Nicholas Reach (left) shakes hands with his caddie after his semifinal loss to Jay Hwang.Junior
