Western Pennsylvania Amateur Championship

Started in 1899 and played all but two years, 1917-18, during World War I, the West Penn Amateur is one of the oldest regional championships in the country. The 54-hole tournament starts with a field of 78 playing 36 holes the first day, with a cut to the low 32 and ties (or within seven shots of the lead) for the second day. 18 holes of stroke play qualifying held at multiple sites for non- exempt players prior to the championship.
