Cole Hammer’s trophy display is mighty impressive:
Western Amateur.
U.S. Amateur Four-Ball.
U.S. Amateur medal.
Walker Cup.
McCormack Medal.
NCAA regional.
And after Tuesday, Hammer can add the South Beach International Amateur to his collection. The 21-year-old Texas standout shot 16 under over 72 holes at the winter’s premier amateur tournament and won by five shots over France’s Pierre Viallaneix.
“I can confidently say that this is the biggest win of my career,” Hammer told GolfChannel.com on Wednesday, shortly after arriving back home in Houston.
Say what?! The Western Amateur?
