| 2024 Championship | Evan Beck, 34, of Virginia Beach, Va., finally claimed that elusive USGA title with an impressive 9-and-8 victory over 36-year-old Bobby Massa, of Dallas, Texas, in the 36-hole final at Kinloch Golf Club, in Manakin-Sabot, Va. Beck avenged his championship-match loss a year earlier to Stewart Hagestad at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. He also had lost in the 2008 U.S. Junior Amateur final to Cameron Peck at Shoal Creek in Alabama. Beck became the first Virginian to hoist the Robert T. Jones Jr. Memorial Trophy and first medalist/co-medalist to win since Scott Harvey a decade earlier. To read more, click here. |
| Quotable | “It's pretty sweet. I’ve always dreamt of winning one of these. It's incredible that it happened so close to home. To get all the way there and come up short [twice] is gut-wrenching. To be able to push through and prove that you can do it to yourself, more than anything, it's pretty awesome.”-- Evan Beck |
