CHASKA, Minn. — On Monday, 312 players teed off with hopes of hoisting the Havemeyer Trophy. Now, it’s down to two who can make that dream become reality Sunday at Hazeltine National Golf Club.
The 2024 U.S. Amateur is down to its final day, as Saturday’s semifinals have concluded and produced the two golfers who will battle it out over 36 holes on Sunday for the biggest championship in amateur golf. There’s a bit of history on the line, too, as for the first time in U.S. Amateur history there’s a player from Spain in the championship match.
On one side of the bracket, an unproven American playing in his first USGA championship is looking to make his mark as a force to come in the future. On the other side is one of the best amateurs in the world, and Sunday is a shot for his signature win with a piece of history added.
Oh, and the duo who won Saturday locked up spots in the 2025 U.S. Open and likely exemptions into the 2025 Masters. Not bad.
