Georgia teenager Mason Howell wins US Amateur, youngest champion since 2009
SAN FRANCISCO -- Georgia teenager Mason Howell capped a productive summer before his senior year of high school by winning the U.S. Amateur at The Olympic Club on Sunday just two months after competing in his first U.S. Open. Howell, who turned 18 in June, raced out to a big lead over Tennessee teenager Jackson Herrington on the opening 18 holes and went on to win the 36-hole final 7 and 6 to surpass Tiger Woods and become the third youngest U.S. Amateur champion ever. Only Byeong Hun An, who won at age 17 in 2009, and Danny Lee, who won a month after his 18th birthday in 2008, were younger. 'It's all jumbled together,' Howell said of his emotions. 'It's been such a great week. To have my name next to these other names on this trophy is unbelievable. To be next to somebody named Tiger is an unreal feeling.' Howell won it with a par to halve the 30th hole, ending the most-lopsided final since Bryson DeChambeau also beat Derek Bard 7 and 6 in 2015. The win earned Howell invitations to the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open next year. He also got a spot in the Walker Cup matches down the coast at Cypress Point in September. 'I felt like I always had it," Howell said of his play this summer. "It's self-belief. I knew it was in me. I just needed to walk with some confidence and I think that would translate to good golf and staying positive. This was the first U.S. Amateur final featuring two teenagers since Matt Fitzpatrick bested Oliver Goss in 2013 and Howell showed the composure of a much more experienced golfer by repeatedly making clutch putts while Herrington made repeated mistakes. Howell won 11 holes, eight of them with pars. He also responded after all four holes he lost, winning the following hole each time. Howell burst onto the scene when he qualified for the U.S. Open this year with rounds of 63-63 from the Atlanta sectional. He failed to make the cut at Oakmont but used that experience this week at The Olympic Club. He was one of 17 players to advance from a 20-man playoff to make the match play portion of the tournament, where he won all six matches. 'Honestly, I have known how good he is for a long time,' said his father, Robert Howell. 'He's had a phenomenal breakout summer.' Howell won five of six holes on the front nine of the opening 18 holes — including an eagle at No. 7 — to take a four-hole lead. He increased the lead to five with a birdie on the par-5 16th hole as his steady putting helped keep Herrington at bay. 'That's one thing we really wanted to start off with today was get the lead through nine," Howell said. "We got off to such a good start. I wanted to keep my foot on the gas, but I didn't want to do anything dumb. I knew if I hit it to a lot of the center of the greens and two-putted that would be good enough." Herrington closed the first 18 with a birdie on the par-5 18th to get back within four. But he then bogeyed the first three holes after the lunch break to fall down by six and never really threatened the rest of the way. 'He played good, and I didn't play great,' Herrington said. 'It was unfortunate I was that way, but I learned a lot about myself.' Howell now gets ready for his senior year of high school — which started this past week — before he is set to start college at the University of Georgia in 2026. 'At the end of the day, I still have to go sit in a classroom for eight hours these coming months,' Howell said. 'Just got to soak this up and really enjoy this one with friends and family.' The 19-year-old Herrington is about to start his sophomore season in college at Tennessee. This is the fourth U.S. Amateur to be held at The Olympic Club. Charles Coe (1958), Nathaniel Crosby (1981) and Cole Knost (2007) won the others.

Robert MacIntyre closes with 40-foot birdie to lead Scottie Scheffler by four at BMW Championship
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Robert MacIntyre was up to the test of facing the No. 1 player in the world Saturday, holing a collection of big par putts and then delivering a 40-foot birdie on the final hole for a 2-under 68 and a four-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler in the BMW Championship. Scheffler picked up one stroke on the five-shot deficit he faced at the start of the steamy afternoon at Caves Valley. He never got closer than three shots. MacIntyre, the lefty from Scotland, got out of several jams, none bigger than the short fifth hole when he drove over a hazard line into the bushes . He decided to hack out, and it shot some 70 feet away for a putt straight down a series of ridges. He two-putted for par, making an 8-footer, one example of his grit before a large gallery that favored Open champion Scheffler. MacIntyre holed an 8-foot putt on the 14th, then turned toward a hospitality area and placed his index finger to his mouth, shushing whoever got under his Scottish skin. He was at 16-under 194, and gets one more day with golf's best. Scheffler finally ended a streak of 37 holes without a bogey and efficiently put together a 67. Ludvig Åberg entered the mix. The Swedish star appears to be emerging from a summer slumber and shot 68 that left him alone in third. He was still six shots behind MacIntyre. No one else was closer than eight shots of the lead. The BMW Championship is the penultimate postseason event that decides the top 30 in the FedExCup who advance to the Tour Championship for a shot at the $10 million prize. Akshay Bhatia helped his chances with an amazing day that included a hole-in-one on the 17th hole to win a car, but more important project him inside the top 30. He also holed out with a wedge on the par-4 seventh for eagle, and turned in a card that had scores of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Harry Hall of England, at No. 45 in the FedExCup, had a second straight 67 and was tied for fourth with Sam Burns (67), projecting him to reach East Lake for the first time and be assured of all the majors except the PGA Championship. Rickie Fowler, who narrowly got into the top 50 to reach Caves Valley, had a 67 to put himself in position to move into the top 30. He was projected just outside the top 30, and those projections are likely to fluctuate wildly on the last day. BMW Championship 2025: Final-round tee times, TV times, how to watch second playoff event Final-round tee times and pairings for the BMW Championship, along with how to watch. Golf Channel Staff , Players often talk about staying present. Hall takes that to another level. 'I've only got one job to do, and that's go recover and hydrate and get ready to hit that first show down the fairway tomorrow,' Hall said. 'My game plan won't fluctuate regardless of the situation I'm in. I think I'll try and do the right thing on every shot, and hopefully that will be enough.' Fowler has an idea what he needs, but he kept it simple. 'Hopefully, just go wear out some fairways and then get the iron play back to where it's been and make some putts,' he said. 'But it sounds a lot easier than it is.' Scheffler is going for his fifth win of the year, which would make him the first player since Tiger Woods to win at least five times in consecutive years. He hasn't had a round over par since the third round of the Travelers Championship nearly two months ago. MacIntyre was clearly up for the test, though. He made five par putts from the 5- to 8-foot range, had a couple of birdie putts inside 6 feet and then ended his day with an uppercut celebration of a 40-foot birdie putt. He was generally safe to make it to the Tour Championship at No. 20, but it could be quite a payoff tomorrow, upward of $6 million with the prize money and bonus for reaching No. 3 in the FedExCup with a win.
