A VISIT FROM GARY COWAN
GARY COWAN, 1971 USGA Amateur Champion Cowan went on to win the United States Amateur Championship on two occasions. In 1966, he was victorious at the Merion Golf Club after defeating Deane Beman in an 18-hole playoff. Then in 1971, he won here at Wilmington Country Club, by famously sinking his approach shot on the final hole with a nine-iron for an eagle two. Cowan remains the only player to win the U.S. Amateur twice at stroke play, and remains one of only two Canadians to win the U.S. Amateur. We were thrilled when Gary stopped by the Club this June to repay a visit to the 18th hole and to enjoy a round of golf on a beautiful summer afternoon. Great memories were shared and we hope you enjoy the video below where Gary tells of his time as a leading amateur golfer and his winning shot on #18.
