DeChambeau (left) and Talley (Golfweek photos)
In Global Golf Post's December 7 issue, Bryson
DeChambeau and Emma Talley
were named male
and female Amateur-of-the-Year. Both players
triumphed this year at The
Concession Golf Club,
winning the NCAA Individual Championship while
representing their schools.
DeChambeau was a junior for Southern Methodist
University while Talley,
also a junior, played
for the University of Alabama. DeChambeau left SMU
before his senior year,
while Talley is
currently playing her final year for the Crimson Tide.
“Emma Talley and Bryson DeChambeau’s on-course
accomplishments are
towering,” wrote Steve
Eubanks in The Post’s Dec. 7 edition. “Talley is one of
only five players in
history to win the U.S.
Women’s Amateur and the NCAA individual
championship, while
DeChambeau joined Jack
Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Ryan Moore
in winning both the
national amateur and
the NCAA in the same year. But the examples Talley
and DeChambeau have
set away from
competition, their humility and genuineness, are even
more
extraordinary.”
