Neal Shipley Secures Historic Low-Amateur Honors at U.S. Open

The Ohio State golfer joins an elite group by achieving low-amateur status at both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.

Shipley held off Luke Clanton by two shots to claim the low-amateur title at Pinehurst No. 2.
He becomes the first player since Viktor Hovland in 2019 to earn low-amateur honors at both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.
Shipley shot consistent rounds of 70, 73, 71, and 72, finishing 6-over for the tournament.
Clanton missed a crucial birdie putt on the final hole, finishing 8-over after a bogey.
Shipley plans to turn professional next week, marking the end of a remarkable amateur career.
