ighteen foreign nations were
represented last week at the
U.S. Amateur, which was won
E
by an Italian.
Be advised: Edoardo Molinari’s
victory at Merion Golf Club might
become a trend on the amateur
tournament circuit in America,
thanks to amended Rules of Amateur
Status that the U.S. Golf Association
is putting into effect Jan. 1, 2006.
The USGA announced Aug. 26 that,
beginning next year, amateur golfers
under its jurisdiction (United States
and Mexico) will be allowed to accept
reimbursement for expenses to play
in competitions. Also to be revised
are the guidelines for amateur
reinstatement and penalties for
accepting hole-in-one prizes.
