What a wild ride! The finale of the 2024 Amateur came right down to the wire, with Lin Culver of Neshobe and Hailey Katona of Green Mountain National swapping shot for shot throughout the day. Hailey was leading the overall score by a stroke after 16 holes, but Lin birdied 17 and tied it up. The 18th hole was the tie-breaker – with Hailey sinking the winning putt for birdie to take the trophy home! Hailey shot 77-69-74 for a 54-hole total of 220. Lin shot 66-78-77 for a 54-hole total of 221.
