U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Champions

U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Records

The inaugural U.S. Women's Four-Ball Championship -- and U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship -- are among the newest national championships to be conducted by the USGA, joining the inaugural U.S. Senior Women's Open that debuted in 2018. The two Four-Ball Championships began a year after the U.S. Amateur Public Links and U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championships were retired by the USGA in 2014.

The creation of the two competitions was announced on Feb. 11, 2013. They became the first additions to the USGA roster of national championships since the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur in 1987.

Four-ball has become a widely popular format for State and Regional Golf Associations across the United States. In 2012, more than 150 championships, either strictly four-ball or as part of a competition format, were conducted in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The USGA accepted 2,234 sides for the inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship.

Four-time U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Nathan Smith, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and his partner Todd White, 47, of Spartanburg, S.C., won the inaugural title with a 7-and-5 victory over North Carolinians Greg Earnhardt, 46, of Greensboro, and Sherrill Britt, 49, of West End, on The Olympic Club's Lake Course in San Francisco.
