This Day in Golf History: August 28

Having won three straight U.S. Junior titles, Tiger Woods, on this date in 1994, won the first of three straight U.S. Amateur championships. At Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., he defeated Trip Kuehne, 2 up, winning the final three holes on the Stadium Course after once trailing 6 down during the 36-hole match. At the time, the victory made Woods the youngest, at 18, to win the Amateur. He became the first golfer to win both the U.S. Junior and U.S. Amateur in a career.
