Brian Carlson Makes Round of 16 at U . S . Junior Amateur

The U . S . Amateur Championship is the oldest golf championship in this country , one day older than the U . S . Open . Except for an eight-year period , 1965-1972 , when it was stroke play , the Amateur has been a match-play championship .
Throughout its history , the U . S . Amateur has been the most coveted of all amateur titles . Many of the great names of professional golf , such as Arnold Palmer , Jack Nicklaus , Lanny Wadkins , Craig Stadler , Jerry Pate , Mark O ’ Meara , Hal Sutton , Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods , grace the Havemeyer Trophy .
