LOS ANGELES — Gordon Sargent officially won low amateur honors at the U.S. Open after going 1-under Sunday afternoon at Los Angeles Country Club, ending an impressive week for the incoming Vanderbilt junior.S
"It's kind of what your goal as an amateur is, just to be the low am, especially with so many amateurs here this week," Sargent said. "It means a lot and gives me a lot of confidence, especially going into amateur golf."
Sargent notched six birdies, seven pars and five bogeys in his final round. Sargent’s performance is extra impressive, considering that his nearly perfect putt on the 18th hole went in and out.
