The three-day championship will be 54-holes at stroke play. The field will be cut to low-40 scores and ties after 36 holes. In the event of a tie after 54 holes, the championship will be decided a three-hole aggregate playoff. “We are thrilled to return to one of our region’s most historic clubs for the 31st Amateur Championship” said Executive Director, Curt Rohe. It will provide for a great 3-days of competition and whoever comes out on top on Saturday will have earned their spot on the Jim Tom Blair Trophy.” Louis CC offers so many opportunities for course setup and offers a challenge to even the best amateurs. The Metropolitan Amateur Championship, first contested in 1991, is MAGA’s signature event every season and regularly attracts every level of amateur player from juniors, college players, mid-amateurs and seniors. This week will mark the second time Saint Louis Country Club has hosted MAGA’s amateur championship, having done so in 2011 when Ryan Penfield won the title. The USGA recognizes Saint Louis Country Club as one of the first 100 Clubs in America. It is no stranger to hosting major golf events, having hosted eight USGA Championships in its history, including the 1947 U.S. Open when Lew Worsham defeated Sam Snead in a playoff. Louis Country Club is honored to host the Metropolitan Amateur Championship,” said Grant Masson, PGA.
