By Peter Conroy amateurgolf.com

SAN JOSE, Calif. Jan. 20, 2007—Kevin Smith, a high school senior, used the local knowledge of his home course, the Coyote Creek Golf Club, to pace the championship flight at the amateurgolf.com Silicon Valley Amateur, shooting a 5-under-par 67.

His nearest competition was Taylor Travis, who finished his round by going birdie, birdie, eagle to notch a 70.

Colin Peck, who won the last amateurgolf.com tournament, the Livermore Valley Championship, shot his third consecutive under-par round by posting a 71.

In all, their were seven golfers under par after Day 1, and two more sitting at even.

In the senior division, Mark Miller led the field with a 2-under-par 70, with his nearest competitor trailing by three strokes.

Terry Trout’s 68 was the low round in the net division.

ABOUT THE AGC Silicon Valley Amateur

>> 2024 TOUR PORTAL

The Silicon Valley Amateur is the first AmateurGolf.com tournament to have, on its past winner's list, a MAJOR champion. That would be Collin Morikawa, who won the 2016 title. Just over four years later, he won the PGA Championship just up the road at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. Multiple PGA Tour star and Morikawa's fellow 2023 USA Ryder Cup team member Max Homa also won the Silicon Valley Amateur in 2011.

For 2024, the tournament is moving to a new venue -- Stanford University Golf Course. Tournament players will relish competing at a course normally reserved for university students and faculty. Please note that we will play on Monday and Tuesday, and expect this event will fill very quickly.
