Ogletree rallies to take down Augenstein in U.S. Amateur final

USGA

PINEHURST, N.C. – Andy Ogletree was in danger of being blown out of the U.S. Amateur final. He kept his poise - and his confidence - and came back to win.

Ogletree won the U.S. Amateur on Sunday, rallying to beat John Augenstein, 2 and 1.

"Everyone on (his Georgia Tech) team says Andy's blood pressure's got to be negative," Ogletree quipped.

Ogletree was 4 down early in the morning round of the 36-hole final at Pinehurst's renovated No. 4, but won four of the final seven holes on the No. 2 course to claim the championship matchup of 21-year-old college seniors.
