The 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship is being played at the Pinehurst Resort, on the historic #2 and newly revamped #4 courses.

In honor of the historical event, we look back at past champions, noticing their style in particular, in this collection of pictures. Join our chronicalogical journey below.

1916 U.S. Amateur

Charles "Chick" Evans, right, and Robert Gardner battled in the 1916 U.S. Am, with Evans emerging as the winner. In our humble opinion, ties on the course should make a comeback.

The U.S. Amateur G.O.A.T.

We know this picture is out of chronological order but we had to save the best for last. Bobby Jones has the most U.S. Amateur Championship titles with 5. Here he is in 1924 at Merion Cricket Club, where he won his first title.
