Stewart Hagestad’s Modern Amateur Golf Legacy: From Pine Valley to Augusta, the Walker Cup and Beyond
Stewart Hagestad has spent much of the last decade proving that there is still another path in elite golf. At a time when most of the game’s best amateurs move quickly from college golf into professional careers, Hagestad has stayed. He has built a body of work around USGA championships, Walker Cups and some of the most prestigious amateur events in the world, while continuing to compete against players who are often more than a decade younger. At 35, he is no longer simply an accomplished mid-amateur or a veteran presence in elite amateur golf. He has become one of the defining American amateurs of the modern era.

Marietta's Hudson Knapp returing to Augusta National
Marietta’s Hudson Knapp is heading back to Augusta National Golf Club. For the third time, Knapp qualified for the Drive, Chip and Putt Finals, which will be held April 4, 2027, the day before Masters week begins. The 12-year-old Knapp, who won the Drive, Chip and Putt national championship as an 8-year-old in 2022, then was runner-up two years later, dominated the field in his regional qualifier at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club in North Carolina. Knapp scored a total of 176 points to win the 12-13 age group by 30 points. Knapp won the drive and putt portions of the competition.
