Colt Knost completed the rare USGA double yesterday, defeating Michael Thompson 2 and 1 to capture the US Amateur. Knost won the US Publinx earlier this summer. The stocky Texan from SMU will represent the US in the Walker Cup later this year, and will most likely turn pro soon after, passing up invites to The Masters, the US Open and Open Championship. The US Amateur champ is only exempted into those events if he retains his amateur status.
