The U.S. Amateur is a week-long event that showcases the top amateur golfers in the country. The event consists of two stroke play rounds on Aug. 12-13, held at Hazeltine National Golf Club and Chaska Town Course. With a field of more than 300 golfers, the top 64 scores will advance through to the match play tournament set for Aug. 14-18, concluding with a 36-hole championship match to decide a winner.
Broin, a native of Shorewood, Minnesota, qualified for the U.S. Amateur after he finished third among sixteen amateurs at the U.S. Open. Broin was also one of just three amateurs to play the weekend at the PGA TOUR’s major championship event. Teeing it up for his third U.S. Amateur, Broin worked as a caddie at Hazeltine National for several years before starting his collegiate career.
