156 MASTERS OF AMATEUR GOLF COMPETE AT KNOLLWOOD CLUB


The prestigious 2016 Western Amateur will be played August 1-6 at Knollwood Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. Founded in 1899, the Western Amateur features a 156-player field considered among the deepest and strongest field in amateur golf. It is the world's third oldest amateur championship behind the British Amateur (1885) and the U.S. Amateur (1895). (WGA Photo Credits - Charles Cherney)

To win, the Western Amateur champion must play 72 holes of stroke play and finish in the top 16 to qualify for match play. He then must win four matches over two days, meaning that over a five-day period he would have played approximately 144 holes, depending on whether his matches went into extra holes or ended early. Past champions include Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ben Crenshaw and Curtis Strange to name a few. Visit www.wgaesf.org for more information.
