The Masters of amateur golf
The Western Amateur showcases the rising stars of the game. First held in 1899, the Western Amateur features an international field of top-ranked amateur golfers. The 2012 Western Amateur will be held July 30-August 4 at Exmoor Country Club in Highland Park, Ill. Read about the 2011 Western Amateur and more at the tournament's official website.
2011 Western Amateur winner
The 2011 champion is Ethan Tracy, the 55th-ranked amateur in the world, who defeated Patrick Cantlay 1-up in a match that came down to the final two putts on the 18th hole: one that went in - Tracy’s – and one that didn’t - Cantlay’s. Had Cantlay made his putt, he would have tied the match and forced a playoff. Tracy happily accepted a tournament program autographed by the Golden Bear himself when it was presented to him by John Lynch, the immediate past president of North Shore and a Western Golf Association director.
