UNIVERSITY PLACE, Washington -- After an up-and-down match against Stanford’s David Chung, Oklahoma State’s Peter Uihlein sunk an eagle on the 34th hole of the day to win the US Amateur championship 4 and 2 Sunday on his 21st birthday.
After becoming the first Cowboy to play in the final since Casey Wittenberg in 2003, Uihlein joins the group of Labron Harris Jr., Bob Dickson and Scott Verplank as the only four Oklahoma State players to capture the amateur crown.
Uihlein built an early lead by winning three of the first five holes, but Chung closed within one hole on the 17th hole of the day. He built and maintained his lead by playing consistently, only recording three bogies, countering with five birdies and two eagles – including the match winning eagle on 34.
