The U.S. Junior Amateur is back in action this week in Pinehurst.
The Country Club of North Carolina in the Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina, plays host this week to 264 of the world’s best male junior golfers on its Cardinal and Dogwood courses.
After two rounds of stroke play – one on each course – the field will be cut to 64 players, followed by six rounds of match play to crown a champion. Winners will receive a gold medal, the U.S. Junior Amateur trophy for one year as well as exemptions into all future U.S. Junior Amateurs, the 2022 U.S. Open and the 2021 and 2022 U.S. Amateurs.
