Chip Lutz led from the opening hole of Thursday's final at Hidden Creek Golf Club, as he cruised to a 5-and-3 victory to win the U.S. Senior Amateur.
“It’s an amazing feeling for me because it's one I have sought for quite a few years,” Lutz said. “I've been really looking at and focusing on this event as not only a comfortable place for me, but a great opportunity for me to try to make the best of things.”
The Reading, Pennsylvania native jumped on final opponent Tom Brandes, of Bellevue, Wash., from the start in Egg Harbor Township, N.
