Georgia teenager Mason Howell wins US Amateur, youngest champion since 2009
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. The 18-year-old Howell 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 become the youngest U.S. Amateur champion since Byeong Hun An won at age 17 in 2009 at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 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.
