Field Set for 26th Amateur Championship at Glen Echo Country Club
Glen Echo Country Club will play host to the Association’s flagship championship, the Metropolitan Amateur on August 4-6! John Kelly outlasted Darren Lundgren in 2004 to capture the Jim Tom Blair Trophy in the only other time Glen Echo has hosted the regions most prominent Amateur Championship.
125 of the area’s best will tee it up on the 6,463 Par 70 layout in search of adding their names to the long list of Amateur champions which include Jim Holtgrieve, Don Bliss, Skip Berkmeyer, Tom Barry and David Estes. Jimmy Siegfried (pictured above) outlasted Skip Berkmeyer at Boone Valley GC in 2015 in a playoff to capture the title. Siegfried, Berkmeyer (2009), Tom Barry (1996) and Teddy Jones (2014) are in the field for this edition.
Players will play 36-holes over August 4 & 5 in hopes of making the cut to the final round on Saturday, August 6. Live Scoring will be available during the Championship via the Plaza Motors Scoreboard link below.
