STARKVILLE — Mississippi State golf standout Garrett Endicott is taking his talents to California for the 125th U.S. Amateur Championships at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.
The San Antonio native is currently ranked in the Top 100 World Amateur men’s rankings, coming in at No. 83, and has had a successful summer with an appearance at the Northeast Amateur event and a seventh-place finish at the Sunnehanna Amateur.
“It’s always a privilege to get the opportunity to play in the biggest amateur event there is,” Endicott said. “Being able to get invited and exempt into such an event helps reflect the hard work and dedication I’ve put towards the game.”
This is Endicott’s second appearance at the U.S. Amateur Championships after qualifying in 2024 with his performances at the Northeast and Western Amateur events.
Endicott recently completed his junior year with the Bulldogs, which saw him play 11 events in the team lineup and record three finishes inside the Top 10. He was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team for his success in athletics and in the classroom, and was also named the SEC Golfer of the Week after tying for second at the Desert Mountain Collegiate tournament. He ended the year being named to the PING All-Region Team.
The U. S. Amateur is the oldest golf championship in the United States, dating back to 1895, and is considered the premier competition for amateur golfers. Several former winners have gone on to compete professionally at major tournaments and tours.
Endicott will tee off at the event in 36-hole stroke play on Aug. 11 with the hopes of finishing in the top 64 places to qualify for the bracket round.
